Germany head coach Klopp introduces strict disciplinary rules

Jurgen Klopp has not hesitated to implement a strict new set of rules for his German footballers. The ex-Liverpool boss is looking to transform the culture within the squad as they prepare to play vs. the Netherlands in the Nations League.

Klopp has officially started his tenure as the national team coach, and the successful head coach is already making significant changes to the team’s daily operations. After his summer hiring, Jurgen has reportedly introduced a series of disciplinary measures to unite the squad.

One of the biggest changes Klopp made is about dinner, where all players must be present and seated on time at the start of the meal.

The manager also forbids the use of technology during parts of the training sessions, such as while footballers are in the gym or on the treatment table. Klopp wants his players to be fully present during these moments.
