New Germany coach Jurgen Klopp says his team can help ensure "national pride is not entrusted to the wrong people" after a recent far-right election victory.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won 43.8% of the vote in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, falling just short of securing an absolute majority in the regional parliament.
The anti-immigration party also expects strong results in elections on Sunday in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The former Liverpool boss added: "I can be proud to be German while also being open-minded and diverse, and kind and friendly."
