Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has reportedly made a crucial decision regarding his next career move after departing Anfield.
Klopp is preparing to conclude his remarkable nine-year tenure at Liverpool after the season, with numerous suitors expressing interest in his services.
Among the potential opportunities for Klopp is the position of national team coach for Germany.
Despite Julian Nagelsmann being the favored candidate to guide the national team through the upcoming European Championships, Klopp has indicated his disinterest in assuming the role within the German Football Association, as per a recent report from Football Insider.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are among the other options for the former Borussia Dortmund manager to consider, especially with Bayern Munich expected to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the season’s end.
Klopp, who arrived at Liverpool in 2015, admitted earlier this year that he is feeling depleted in terms of the energy required to manage the Merseyside club.
Bookmakers currently favor Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi as potential candidates to succeed Klopp in the summer months. Despite this, Liverpool remains in contention for four major trophies this season, with the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup all within reach.
Ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea this weekend at Wembley, a victory would mark Klopp’s second triumph in the competition within three years.
When asked about his future in recent weeks, Klopp has remained cautious in his response. “I need to find a different purpose,” he stated.
“If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no.” “But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool.”
