Marc Kosicke, representative of Jürgen Klopp, stirred up European football by stating that the coach was targeted by English giants and national teams after leaving Liverpool in 2024. According to the agent, Manchester United, Chelsea, and the England national team tried to hire the 58-year-old manager.

“Chelsea and Manchester United even made inquiries, although Jürgen made it clear he would not coach any other club in England,” Kosicke revealed in an interview with Transfermarkt.

Despite the agent’s statements, the reaction was immediate: Manchester United and Chelsea vehemently deny any direct or indirect contact with the German during that period. In addition to the clubs, Kosicke indicated that the position of England manager, currently held by Thomas Tuchel, could have gone to Klopp:

“Before joining Red Bull, Jürgen could have coached the USA or England. Probably also Germany, if Nagelsmann wasn’t there.”

Currently, Klopp serves as Red Bull’s global head of football, a position he took on after nine historic years at Anfield. His representative highlighted that the coach is satisfied with the new corporate challenge, but hasn’t closed the door on a future return to the dugout:

“Maybe at some point he’ll say he needs to smell the locker room again. But right now, he is very, very happy in his current role,” the agent pointed out.

Klopp’s career is a source of pride for his staff, especially because he has never been fired during his stints at Mainz, Dortmund, and Liverpool. For Kosicke, the coach’s impact on the market remains immense, despite his current break from coaching.

“It’s wonderful to go down in history as one of the few managers who led only three clubs and was never dismissed,” he concluded, reinforcing the German’s legacy of stability.
