How long do coaches last?
Top football coaches, like Julian Nagelsmann before Klopp, often have short tenures, especially in international roles. The average national team coach lasts around two years, frequently due to poor tournament results. Klopp's potential contract until the 2030 World Cup is unusually long, reflecting the German FA's strong belief in his ability to rebuild the team.
