Brazilian media claimed earlier this month that Jürgen Klopp was anything but happy in his managerial job, far away from the pitch on match day. At the same time, this is the coach who told the world a year ago that he was most likely done with the coaching profession. Now there are signals from the ball island that also tell of a comeback, but without haste.
Jürgen Klopp sent shockwaves through Liverpool and the rest of the football world last winter with the message that he will step down as Liverpool manager after the 2023/24 season and probably retire as coach. Then Pep Guardiola was asked how he reacted. The City manager has great respect for his rival, but thought the German was screwed up like himself, Klopp returns as coach. Simply because that’s what the two legendary coaches live and breathe for. Now there are signals that could prove Guardiola right.

Brazilian UOL is following the process of hiring a new national team coach for Brazil after the 4-1 thrashing in the World Cup qualifier against Argentina, and claims they have picked up on signals about Klopp, but there is much to suggest that it will be Carlo Ancelotti who will lead Brazil to the World Cup title. According to The Telegraph, Klopp has sent signals that the 2026 World Cup will be important for his comeback as a coach.
The English media claims that the coaching legend is waiting with a decision on a coaching job after the 2026 World Cup, when several national team jobs will become available.
With this, Klopp is in no hurry to make the comeback choice, but it also looks like Guardiola’s prediction a year ago is coming true: Master Klopp will leave the manager’s office and back in the ring.
