Jurgen Klopp's agent, Marc Kosicke, has made a startling claim that both Manchester United and Chelsea approached the German manager following his departure from Liverpool. This revelation comes as Klopp settles into his new role as head of global football with Red Bull, after spending nearly nine successful years at Anfield.
Premier League Giants Allegedly Sought Klopp's Services
According to Kosicke, Manchester United and Chelsea expressed interest in hiring Klopp after he left Liverpool. The agent also suggested that Klopp could have taken charge of the England national team, as well as the USA or Germany, before accepting his current position with Red Bull. However, both Premier League clubs have reportedly "vehemently refute" having contacted Klopp, either directly or through an intermediary.
Klopp's Career and Future Prospects
Klopp is currently content in his new role, but his agent hinted at a potential return to club management in the future. Kosicke noted Klopp's pride in his career, which has seen him manage only three clubs without ever being fired. This statement underscores Klopp's reputation as a highly respected and stable figure in football management.
The claims by Klopp's agent add an intriguing layer to the post-Liverpool narrative of one of football's most charismatic managers. While the clubs deny the approaches, the speculation highlights the high demand for Klopp's expertise and leadership in the sport.
