Jurgen Klopp's appointment follows weeks of speculation and the resignation of predecessor Julian Nagelsmann earlier in July after Germany's third consecutive early World Cup exit.
Jurgen Klopp has been named Germany coach after weeks of speculation, the national federation (DFB) announced on Friday.
The former Liverpool manager faces the task of rebuilding the struggling European giants and his contract will see him through to the 2030 World Cup co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
The 59-year-old spoke publicly of his desire to take on the role after predecessor Julian Nagelsmann’s resignation earlier in July.
Nagelsmann fell on his sword after a disappointing last-32 defeat at the hands of Paraguay, Germany’s third consecutive early World Cup exit since winning the tournament in 2014.
As the German FA’s preferred candidate, Klopp’s willingness to take the job accelerated Nagelsmann’s departure.
“It’s a great honour for me to be sitting here today,” Klopp told a press conference called by the DFB to announce his appointment in Frankfurt. “I had an idea how big the job of national team coach is, but when you’re being directly connected with it, you really feel the scale and the responsibility even more.
