​According to Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, the meeting between Jürgen Klopp and the DFB lasted four hours. DFB officials believed it was essential to meet Klopp in person because of the magnitude of the potential decision. The gathering in New York brought together DFB president Bernd Neuendorf, vice president Hans-Joachim Watzke, Klopp, and his agent Marc Kosicke, and it extended for more than four hours. While the core terms of a possible collaboration had already been roughly agreed beforehand, the DFB leaders insisted on flying to the United States to meet Klopp face-to-face rather than making such a significant decision remotely.
Klopp is now set to sign a contract as the new Germany coach through 2030, but the deal is not yet finalized. His current contract with Red Bull needs to be terminated in coordination with RB chief Oliver Mintzlaff, who is expected to travel to New York in the coming days to negotiate the final details. A major point of discussion among fans and the media concerns how much power and influence Klopp would wield in his role. It is clear that this meeting was not solely about persuading Klopp to take the job; it was also about how he could drive substantial change within an organization that is widely perceived as needing reform.
