According to The Athletic’s sources, Jürgen Klopp is said to be content in his job as big boss of Red Bull’s football venture. Pep Guardiola dryly stated, when Klopp announced he is retiring as coach in 2024, probably for good, that “He’s like me, he has to go back”. At Real Madrid, there are forces that believe Klopp must be tempted back to get the club back on track.

Then we’ll see if the Spaniards can tempt Klopp back into the ring. The opportunity to lead Real Madrid is another job Klopp will see as a great honour to be served.
