Former Liverpool manager willing to return to coaching for Real Madrid – report | OneFootball

There are not too many better managers in world football than Jurgen Klopp, the German tactician who masterminded Liverpool’s rise to the top in recent years.

The 57-year-old left the Merseyside club last year and was soon appointed as Red Bull’s new Global Head of Football just a few months later.

As relayed by Brazilian outlet UOL (h/t The Madrid Zone), however, Klopp is unhappy with his role at the new institution and is already considering a return to the managerial path.

Needless to say, it comes as a surprise given that the manager stated he needed a hiatus.

Two roles appeal to Klopp

The Brazilian outlet also furthers that sources close to Klopp confirm that he would leave Red Bull only if he attracts offers from one of two institutions – Real Madrid or the Brazilian National Team.

Surprisingly, the future of both positions is in the hands of Florentino Perez and Klopp’s future may well depend on what Real Madrid decide at the end of the season.

For starters, Los Blancos’ decision over whether or not to keep Carlo Ancelotti is a massive one that they have not finalised.

The Italian, however, is the top target of the Brazilian National Team and may well move to coach the Selecao if fired.

If Ancelotti remains at Real Madrid, Klopp may thus move to become the next manager of the Brazilian National Team which is currently in jeopardy.

If Ancelotti leaves, he will be a top name to replace the Italian in Madrid and will give Xabi Alonso tough competition.

From Real Madrid’s perspective, Klopp’s availability is a tempting offer that may well be too good to pass on for the German focuses on the exact areas the team currently lack – pressing high and dominating games.

The new development, thus, could slightly distance Alonso from the Spanish capital and reopen room for debate.
