Germany’s national team is preparing to say goodbye to kit sponsor Adidas after a partnership spanning more than seven decades. At an official farewell ceremony at the sportswear brand’s headquarters, head coach Jürgen Klopp drew laughs by referring to the eye-catching style of Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany.
Self-deprecating remark
Klopp, 59, poked fun at himself as much as at his counterpart at Bayern, who is 40. He suggested that he would look ridiculous wearing the clothes that Kompany favours, a light-hearted comment that clearly went down well with the audience.
The ceremony marked the end of a long and iconic association between the German football federation and Adidas, one of the most enduring kit partnerships in the country’s sporting history.
