Klinsmann praises Klopp’s 44-player Germany squad as brave and refreshing | OneFootball

According to BuLi News, Jürgen Klinsmann has welcomed Jürgen Klopp’s unconventional first Germany squad, calling the 44-player selection “brave and refreshing”.

Klopp has split his first squad into two groups for the Nations League. The first will face the Netherlands and Greece, then a second group takes over against Serbia and Greece. He has stressed the groups should not be viewed as A and B sides.

Klinsmann said the plan is bold and has changed how he looks at the national team. He believes Klopp is using the opening international window to assess a broad pool rather than settle early on a fixed core.

The list features potential debutants alongside recalls for Marc-André ter Stegen and Serge Gnabry. Several young Bundesliga players have received their first senior call-ups.

Germany have four fixtures to inform those decisions, starting away to the Netherlands on September 24. Greece visit Augsburg three days later, then Serbia come to Munich, before Germany meet Greece again in Thessaloniki in October.

Klinsmann also sees parallels with the changes made around 2006. He is optimistic about Germany’s prospects under Klopp and believes the team could compete for the EURO 2028 title.

Klopp was appointed in July on a contract running through the 2030 World Cup. His main objective is to lead Germany into EURO 2028 and then the 2030 World Cup.
