One star will benefit: Klopp's first Germany change! | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp has not officially started at the DFB yet, but there are already initial rumors about what he wants to change. According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, his top priority is said to be finding a new right-back. 

The incoming new Germany head coach apparently does not see Joshua Kimmich in that role. The Bayern star’s position was already a recurring topic during the World Cup. However, Julian Nagelsmann decided to use Kimmich at right-back. 

Under Klopp, that now seems likely to change. The former Liverpool coach is said to place great importance on the full-back positions. According to Plettenberg, Klopp is already closely monitoring Germany’s youth national teams in search of the right profile for the future. 

Right-back or defensive midfield: which position do you see Kimmich in? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
