However, the final say will rest with the German Football Association, which must now decide on the future of its manager. Indeed, this premature exit could prompt the leadership to consider a change in direction ahead of the next major international competitions.

Meanwhile, a high-profile option is already gaining momentum. According to several converging sources, including Fabrizio Romano, Jürgen Klopp would be willing to consider a return to management and is said to be particularly receptive to the idea of leading the German national team, should the DFB approach him.
