Simply over a 12 months to the day that Jurgen Klopp took cost of his last match at Liverpool, he’s discovered himself linked with a return to membership administration.
Now working as Head of World Soccer at Purple Bull, the 57-year-old had beforehand mentioned that he’d by no means return into teaching after his exit from Anfield, though latest experiences from Italy urged that he may break that promise.
La Stampa claimed that the previous Reds boss has agreed to take the vacant supervisor’s job at AS Roma, with Claudio Ranieri retiring on the finish of this season, and people rumours have prompted a swift response from the German’s agent.
Klopp’s agent shuts down Roma rumours
In keeping with Arabian outlet WinWin, Marc Kosicke has advised them that the experiences linking Klopp with the Serie A membership are unfaithful, thus showing to dispel any notion that the ex-Liverpool coach would return to the coalface of administration.
The 57-year-old had additionally been touted as a potential successor to Carlo Ancelotti at Actual Madrid earlier than it was successfully confirmed that the job will go to Xabi Alonso, who departs Bayer Leverkusen.
Klopp unlikely to handle one other membership, particularly Roma
We’re not in the least stunned to see Kosicke shortly pouring chilly waters on the outlandish experiences linking Klopp with Roma.
Firstly, the sincerity with which the German mentioned that Liverpool could be his final job in administration means that he’ll stay true to his phrase. Even when he finally modifications his thoughts, certainly it received’t occur only one 12 months after proclaiming that he wanted to step away from Anfield as a result of he was ‘working out of vitality’.
Additionally, within the inconceivable occasion that the 57-year-old will return to the dugout someday, we doubt that he’ll go to Roma, given what occurred when his Reds staff met the Serie A membership within the Champions League semi-finals in 2018.
The 5-2 win within the first leg on Merseyside was overshadowed by a horrific and unprovoked assault from Italian thugs on LFC supporter Sean Cox, who suffered life-changing accidents in consequence. Klopp subsequently fashioned a detailed bond with the Meath native upon future visits to Anfield.
The Stadio Olimpico hierarchy would possibly like to have the previous Liverpool supervisor at their membership, which we will perceive, however at no level can we ever assume that feeling shall be mutual.
