Jürgen Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, has addressed recent speculation linking the former Liverpool boss with the Real Madrid head coach role, as Carlo Ancelotti prepares to leave the club this summer. Klopp, 57, parted ways with Liverpool after the 2023-24 Premier League season and has not taken up another managerial role since. Currently, he serves as Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer, overseeing the company’s football operations.
There are claims that the Real Madrid job or the role of Brazil’s national team coach could lure Klopp away from his current position at Red Bull. However, in a recent statement to Sky in Germany, Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke made it clear where his client’s priorities lie. "Jurgen is very happy with his new role as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull. He's fully focused and happy there," he stated.

Meanwhile, Klopp also shared his thoughts on his future role.
