ATLANTA (AP) --- Germany's soccer federation said Saturday it had held talks
with Jurgen Klopp and both sides were confident he would take over as national
team coach after the country's disappointing exit from the World Cup.
Former coach Julian Nagelsmann resigned after his team failed to make the round
of 16 for the third World Cup running.
Klopp, a serial trophy winner with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, was quickly
identified as the favorite to succeed him.
The German federation said talks were held in New York on Friday with Klopp,
who is currently in an executive role as head of global soccer for the Red Bull
group.
"In the constructive exchange, an understanding was reached on essential key
points of a potential contract," it said.
