Nagelsmann says won't 'run away' after Germany World Cup exit

SPORTS 30.06.2026

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said he wanted to stay in his job despite the defeat on penalties to Paraguay that sent the four-time World Cup winners crashing out in the last 32 on Monday.

Text size:

Nagelsmann has a contract up to the 2028 European Championships but Germany's premature exit from the World Cup will put the 38-year-old under intense scrutiny.

"I'm not someone who runs away," he told German broadcaster ZDF.

"I want to continue, but in football you don't always have it in your own hands.

"If the DFB (federation) wants me to, then I will prepare for the European Championship and the Nations League."

The loss to the South Americans was the first time that Germany have ever lost a penalty shootout at a World Cup.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who was at the match in Massachusetts working for German broadcaster MagentaTV, has long been rumoured as a future coach of the national team.

But Klopp refused to be drawn on the possibility on Monday.

"I understand that my name is being mentioned, but this is not the moment to talk about it -- and especially not with me," Klopp said.
