Nagelsmann out, Klopp expensive: DFB faces billion-dollar dilemma
After the loss to Paraguay, Julian Nagelsmann faces the axe. The severance package is steep – and Jürgen Klopp's return would break the budget.
Julian Nagelsmann is on the brink of being fired following Germany's 0-2 loss to Paraguay.
