Jürgen Klopp, nuevo técnico de Alemania: “Si mañana decís que el juego de la selección es una mierda, ¡me voy!”

Jürgen Klopp se presentó como nuevo seleccionador de Alemania, este mediodía en Frankfurt.

Klopp se ha comprometido a dirigir al equipo nacional hasta el Mundial de 2030, tarea que incluye la reconstrucción de una base que pierde talento a chorros y la reconducción de una trayectoria declinante que ha arrastrado a la Mannschaft a tres eliminaciones sucesivas en fase de grupos en los Mundiales de Rusia, Qatar y Norteamérica.
