Former Germany international Stefan Effenberg has tied a possible nomination of Bayern Munich’s reserve goalkeeper Jonas Urbig for head coach Jürgen Klopp’s first Germany squad to one specific condition.
Record Germany international Lothar Matthäus (65) advises Germany coach Jürgen Klopp (59) to rely in future on Said El Mala (20) of 1. FC Cologne in the Germany team. At the same time, he stressed that the young forward could also have played a role at the botched World Cup under Klopp’s predecessor Julian Nagelsmann (39).
Jürgen Klopp's arrival also brought his close confidant Marc Kosicke to the DFB. However, there now appear to be growing irritations within the association surrounding the activities of the long-time companion of the newly appointed national team coach.
