Fuller spoke during the International Coaches Conference in Mainz about the challenge that awaits Klopp in his first experience at the helm of the national team, stressing that coaching Germany is completely different from leading clubs, regardless of their size.

He said: “Jurgen has exceptional coaching experience, but he is beginning to realize the magnitude of the responsibility placed on his shoulders. Coaching the national team in a country the size of Germany is very different from coaching any club, even the largest clubs in the world.”

He added: “I always told Julian Nagelsmann that any decision taken by the national team coach, whether in choosing the roster, lineup, or tactical approach, will be subject to discussion by millions of Germans, and it is impossible to please everyone.”

In the same context, Fuller defended former coach Julian Nagelsmann, considering that the criticism he was subjected to following the World Cup failure was harsh and unfair.

He explained: “Nagelsmann did not deserve those criticisms. He is a talented coach with a distinctive personality, and is still at the beginning of his coaching career. I am confident that he will return soon to coach one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and I have no doubt in his ability to achieve great successes in the future.” (Russia Today)
