Not many hours after Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid “agreed” to end their employment after seven months, Jürgen Klopp spoke out about the shock news. With Alonso out, the legendary Liverpool manager has once again moved up as a top candidate.
Over the past six months, there have been reports from the Spanish, German and English media that Klopp is unhappy in his managerial role, is starting to feel ready to return as coach – and that an opening at Real Madrid will be the opportunity that will see Klopp place himself under the biggest spotlights again.

There was so much noise, that Klopp went out and said how happy he was as head of Red Bull’s football venture, while the RB boss stated Klopp is not returning to the coaching job – yet. Then came the message from Madrid that Alonso was finished. Two days later, substitute Arbeloa has led Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey after losing to a second-division club.
German journalist Florian Plettenberg has followed Jürgen Klopp closely throughout his compatriot’s fantastic coaching career, he believes this can actually happen.
Plettenberg claims Klopp is seriously considering returning as coach, if Real Madrid make a concrete offer before the summer.
This is no longer whispers of a Klopp return, this can actually happen.
