Jurgen Klopp approached by Manchester United and Chelsea as former Liverpool boss stance explained
Klopp refused offers from Manchester United, Chelsea, and others after leaving Liverpool in 2024, choosing a global football advisory role at Red Bull instead, his agent said.
- On May 19, 2024, Jürgen Klopp was targeted by Manchester United and Chelsea after leaving Liverpool, but Marc Kosicke says Klopp rejected Manchester United's approach.
- After stepping down on May 19, 2024, Jürgen Klopp left Liverpool after nearly nine years and began as Red Bull group's Head of Global Football the following January with no plans to return to management.
- Speaking to Transfermarkt, Marc Kosicke said, `At the moment, I don't see that happening, because he's very happy with his new role and in this environment.`
- Chelsea and Manchester United denied the agent's version, despite a jostling queue of suitors forming around Klopp in the summer of 2024.
- Given his preference for less day-to-day intensity, Kosicke said Klopp could have coached the England national team or U.S. men's national team before joining Red Bull, offering football contact without daily grind.
