Newly appointed German Head Coach Jurgen Klopp has warned that he could quit his role if the media fails to respect his family’s privacy.
The former Liverpool manager issued the warning during his first press conference after being appointed Germany’s new head coach on a four-year contract.
Klopp, who replaced Julian Nagelsmann after Germany’s disappointing World Cup exit, said he enjoys the role but would not hesitate to step away if his family faces unwanted media attention.
“If you behave badly and don’t leave my family in peace then I’ll be gone, I’ll just turn away.”
“I love this job but I am always ready to call it quits if need be,” Klopp said, according to BBC Sport.
The 59-year-old returns to management for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2024, after saying he had “run out of energy” following a successful nine-year spell at the club.
Klopp described taking charge of Germany as the biggest challenge and highest point of his coaching career.
“Jurgen Klopp is not going to have any ‘career’ after the national team. This is the pinnacle, the absolutely high point of my footballing career as coach. I will give everything I have got,” he added.
The German coach is expected to lead the national team through the 2030 World Cup, with his first match scheduled against the Netherlands on September 24 in a Nations League fixture.
Klopp’s appointment has generated excitement in Germany, but he faces the task of rebuilding confidence in a national team that has struggled in recent international tournaments.
