Julian Nagelsmann has resigned as Germany's head coach following the team's early exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026, where they lost to Paraguay in a penalty shootout. His resignation, which ends a nearly three-year tenure, comes after pressure from the German Football Association (DFB), which reportedly urged him to step down. Nagelsmann, who had a contract until Euro 2028, chose to resign voluntarily to secure a £5 million payout rather than face dismissal. The decision follows criticism of Germany's performance and raises questions about the national team's direction and the DFB's strategy. Attention is now focused on Jurgen Klopp, who has been linked with the coaching role. Although Klopp expressed willingness to coach Germany in the past, he declined to comment further after the team's exit.
