Coupe du monde 2026 : après l'élimination précoce de la Mannschaft, Jürgen Klopp réclame une révolution du football allemand
The unease is confirmed for Germany. Eliminated in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup after a penalty shootout defeat against Paraguay (1-1, 3-4 on penalties), the Nationalmannschaft is embarking on another disappointing world campaign and moving further away from its glorious past.
Long a symbol of regularity and efficiency, the German national team has been going through a dark period since its 2014 world title. After premature eliminations in the 2018 and 2022 editions, this new failure confirms the deep difficulties of a team that is struggling to regain its place among the great football nations.
This latest setback has already sparked numerous reactions in Germany. Among the most influential voices is that of Jürgen Klopp, who believes that simply questioning the system will no longer suffice. The former Liverpool manager is calling for a thorough reform of German football, starting with youth development.
“We can talk about the DFB. It is absolutely essential to change certain things. We can start with the under-10s and wait a few years to observe the results,” Klopp told MagentaTV.
For the German coach, the rebuilding process will need to be patient but ambitious. According to him, the entire policy for developing young talent needs to be rethought in order to allow Germany to regain its status as a benchmark on the international stage in the medium term.
As criticism mounts against the German Football Association (DFB), the coming months could be decisive. Between restructuring training centers, reorganizing youth teams, and implementing a new sporting vision, German football appears to have reached a turning point in its history.
