Although Jürgen Klopp believes he has retired, he still stands as one of the world’s best coaches who is still active. The giant clubs would have opened the door immediately if the former Liverpool manager said he wanted to return. But a meeting with Kjetil Knutsen, he will probably have to wait with that.
There was a lot of excitement for football Norway when Jürgen Klopp stated how unbelievable Bodø/Glimt’s victories against the giant clubs were. “How do they do it?! As Global Head of Soccer for the Red Bull group, Glimt’s recipe is of great interest to the German. Klopp said he had tried to have a chat with Kjetil Knutsen, but had not been given an “audience”. Of course, we thought this was entertaining, Knutsen probably experienced it as noise, and saw no reason to talk to journalists about Klopp before the second leg at the San Siro.

We’re guessing that Champion Klopp picked up the 1-2 win on Tuesday, but the coaching legend will probably have to be patient. Kjetil Knutsen is not done performing in the Champions League, now the next phase awaits, the next opponent.
So Klopp will probably have to be patient to have a chat with Knutsen. On May 30, the Champions League final will be played in Budapest. We can no longer ignore that Kjetil Knutsen and Bodø/Glimt will be busy until this date.
