Would Jürgen Klopp Come Back to Managing Teams?
Sources say that the former coach might come around to change his mind over his decision
Jürgen Klopp could once again lead a football team. Would it be Real Madrid or the German national team?
Klopp, now 58, had left the profession in 2024 after a dazzling spell at Liverpool due to personal fatigue. After his unexpected departure from Liverpool, the German took over as Red Bull's global football director in January, just 7 months later, with the task of overseeing the Red Bull group's teams.
The former coach had once said that he had left managerial life behind him, that he no longer wanted to have that lifestyle.
Contact with Real Madrid?
However, during an interview on German television after Xabi Alonso's dismissal as Real Madrid coach, he confirmed having received calls from people close to the club. And transfer expert Florian Plettenberg reports that Klopp could drastically reverse his decision to abstain from the bench.
One of the first names that resonated in the atmosphere of the merengues after the dismissal of Xabi Alonso was that of the German coach. After Albacete's surprising victory, which ended up eliminating Real Madrid from the cup, the rumors and attempts to bring Jürgen Klopp in could increase considerably.
The German national team?
Another possible destination for the former Liverpool coach is the German national team, where he could try to lead his team to glory during the 2026 World Cup or a long-term project.
In any case, Plettenberg points out that Jürgen Klopp feels comfortable, happy, and strongly identified with the project and his position at Red Bull.
