What future for Jürgen Klopp? Since his departure from Liverpool FC in 2024, the former Reds coach has shown his desire to
“discover new things” and work on
“a global vision of football”rather than preparing for a match every weekend on the bench of a club.

Installed in January 2025 as director of football at Red Bull, the 58-year-old German hoped to enjoy a quieter role, far from the pressure of immediate results. But within the Austrian group, the atmosphere has changed and doubt has set in: is this executive position really enough to nourish his passion for the field and the game?

While his name was strongly mentioned on the Real Madrid side, the situation suddenly changed. According to the latest information from Bildthe departure of Jürgen Klopp for the Germany national football team after the World Cup is now considered an open secret within the Red Bull group.

“He feels a sense of obligation”

Even if Julian Nagelsmann is officially in office until 2028, the shadow of Jürgen Klopp still looms. His agent, Marc Kosicke, openly admits this to 365Scores : “Jürgen feels very attached to this country. He feels a sense of obligation, as if he can’t always say no to this position. »

After 23 years of a grueling career, during which he admitted “lack of energy”Klopp seems to have found the flame again. If Real Madrid’s offer remains prestigious, that of Germany has an emotional dimension far too strong to be ignored.
