Klopp Rules Out Quick Return to Management, England Job Not on His Radar
The football world was left wondering what’s next for Jurgen Klopp after his departure from Liverpool at the end of the 23/24 season. The German manager has finally broken his silence, and the answer is clear: he’s taking a year off from coaching.
In a recent interview, Klopp ruled out a quick return to management, stating that he’s not interested in taking on another club or country. When asked about the England job, which has been vacant since Gareth Southgate’s departure, Klopp was adamant that it’s not something he’s considering.
According to Sky Sports, Klopp was quoted as saying, "Job-wise, nothing at all, no club and no country. People must not have heard that part." He also added that taking on the England job would be the "biggest loss of face in the history of football" if he were to make an exception.
So, what’s next for Klopp? He’s been enjoying his extended break from football, but he’s not planning to sit idle for too long. He’s mentioned that he’ll be working on something, perhaps a new project or venture outside of football.
Klopp’s decision to take a year off from coaching is a bold move, especially considering his success at Liverpool. However, it’s clear that he’s looking to recharge his batteries and come back to the game when the time is right.
The Contenders for the England Job
While Klopp has ruled himself out of the running for the England job, there are several other managers who have been linked with the position. Here are a few of the top contenders:
- Thomas Tuchel: The German manager has been out of a job since leaving Chelsea earlier this year.
- Eddie Howe: The Bournemouth manager has been touted as a potential candidate for the England job.
- Graham Potter: The Brighton manager has been linked with the position, despite his relatively short tenure at the Seagulls.
- Mauricio Pochettino: The former Tottenham manager has been out of a job since leaving Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year.
- Ange Postecoglou: The Celtic manager has been mentioned as a potential candidate, despite his lack of experience in European football.
