FC Gifu Overview

Jurgen Klopp has been set the simple challenge of being “less sh*t” as he prepares to embark on a new challenge as manager of the Germany national team. Robert Huth has told GOAL that the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool boss will bring “heavy metal football” to the international arena while chasing down European Championship and World Cup crowns.

1. FC Nuremberg can hope for an additional financial windfall if former professional Finn Jeltsch makes his debut for the German national team at VfB Stuttgart. That is reported by Bild.

Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi is caught in a tug of war between Italy and Germany regarding his senior international allegiance. The 22-year-old Cagliari-born striker, who remains a key figure for Germany's under-21 setup, has yet to decide on his senior future as both European powerhouses closely monitor his prolific domestic campaign.

Because they were not considered by their respective national team coaches, Maximilian Beier and Marcel Sabitzer will apparently have to train with Borussia Dortmund's Under-23s next week. That emerges from a report by kicker.
