2026 World Cup: Jürgen Klopp already has a role | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp

Legendary Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has already agreed to take on a new responsibility for the 2026 World Cup.

Since leaving Liverpool in 2024, Jürgen Klopp expressed his desire to take a break before accepting the position of global football director with the Red Bull group. The former Borussia Dortmund coach is about to wear two hats, as he has now agreed to take on another role. He will become a consultant during the 2026 World Cup.

“Many of you always knew this was the best way. But I really couldn’t imagine it for myself. Returning to the touchline? I don’t miss anything. That’s what I always thought. But now, I feel the urge again. The grass beneath my feet. The electrifying stadium atmosphere. And I really want to be close to it all once more. Really? No, not as a coach. I’m becoming a consultant for Magenta TV during the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” announced the manager.
