Jürgen Klopp had another busy weekend of German football, with the new Germany head coach taking in Sunday afternoon’s Bundesliga action between FC Augsburg and Schalke 04 at the WWK Arena.
Klopp was spotted in attendance for the match, just days after making headlines with his visit to Bayern Munich’s training session. His appearance in Augsburg underlines the Germany boss’ desire to keep a close eye on the players who could potentially feature in his plans for the national team.
The former Liverpool
and Borussia Dortmund manager has already made it clear that he wants to build strong relationships with players and clubs across Germany as he begins his new role. Attending matches in person will give Klopp an opportunity to evaluate players outside of the usual national-team regulars while also getting a feel for the Bundesliga’s emerging talent.
His visit to Bayern Munich was particularly notable given the number of Germany internationals in Vincent Kompany’s squad.
Now, with Augsburg and Schalke providing another opportunity to scout German talent, Klopp is continuing his hands-on approach. For players hoping to catch the new Germany coach’s attention, having Klopp sitting in the stands could provide some extra motivation.
