Fresh Germany chance for Anton Stach as Jurgen Klopp confirms talks | OneFootball

Anton Stach could receive a renewed Germany opening after a change at the top, potentially handing the Leeds United midfielder a fresh chance.

"Yes, I can confirm the talks." "The DFB (German FA) are looking for a successor. And they're talking to me." "What needs to happen now? Time. I'm under contract with Red Bull," he told MagentaTV.

Stach impressed throughout his first season at Leeds after joining from TSG Hoffenheim last summer, earning a Germany recall for March friendlies.

He played 10 minutes from the bench against Switzerland and was an unused substitute versus Ghana. An ankle injury late in the season cast doubt on his World Cup hopes, and although it was not serious he was omitted from Julian Nagelsmann’s squad for the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

Germany won Group E without him, then went out in the last 32 to Paraguay, losing 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time. Nagelsmann resigned following the exit, and talks with Klopp could reopen the door for Stach.
