Germany national team head coach Jurgen Klopp has introduced a series of new rules aimed at strengthening unity and discipline within the squad.

Operativ Media reports, citing Bild.

According to the report, Klopp and his coaching staff developed the new requirements during a special multi-day workshop in August. Under the new rules, players must arrive for dinner at the same time, rather than individually.

Players are also banned from using mobile phones during massages and while training in the gym.

Klopp has also restricted the presence of personal barbers at the national team camp. They are no longer allowed to visit the team's camp during training camps.

In addition, Klopp intends to limit visits by players' wives and other family members during major tournaments. However, the head coach wants to strike a balance between relaxation and the necessary focus on the national team.

Germany's first match under Klopp's leadership will take place on September 24. The match will kick off at 22:45 Baku time, with Germany facing the Netherlands.
