Jurgen Klopp has forcefully denied rumors linking him with the top job at "Real Madrid", calling the reports baseless and saying neither he nor his agent has been contacted by the Spanish club. Reports Goal.com.
Speaking during a media event in Ismaning, the former "Liverpool" manager said the stories were written by "idiots" and described the speculation as "all nonsense". Klopp, now working as Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer, stressed that he remains focused on his current executive role.
Even so, Klopp suggested his coaching career may not be over. The 58-year-old said he is enjoying life away from the weekly pressure of the touchline, but added that he is not ready to consider himself fully finished as a coach and is keeping the future open.
Klopp also dismissed any talk of taking charge of Germany, showing support for current national team coach Julian Nagelsmann. He said there is no reason to think about such a move now and made clear that no return to management is being planned at the moment.
Red Bull leadership has echoed that position. Chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff has previously rejected exit rumors and said the company is very satisfied with Klopp’s work. With his contract running until 2029, Klopp appears set to remain in the boardroom for now, even if a dugout return one day cannot be ruled out.
