Why sign a long deal?
Signing a long deal, like Klopp's until 2030, gives stability. It allows a coach to build a team and implement a long-term vision without constant pressure for immediate results. For the German FA, it secures a top manager and shows commitment, hoping to avoid the kind of short-term changes seen with Nagelsmann.
