Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season and, despite only starting his new role with the Red Bull group in January, is reportedly eyeing a shock return to management, with Real Madrid one of two options for the iconic German coach.<\/p>\n
Klopp, 57, left behind an incredible legacy at Anfield, having led Liverpool to winning eight major trophies, including Premier League and Champions League titles.<\/p>\n
After announcing his decision to leave the Reds, Klopp<\/a> said he needed to take a \u201clong break\u201d from football, before he then became Red Bull\u2019s Head of Global Soccer a few months later.<\/p>\n According to a shock report from Brazilian outlet\u00a0UOL<\/a>,\u00a0Klopp is \u2018unhappy\u2019 in his new job and finds himself \u2018increasingly worn out\u2019. It\u2019s claimed that Klopp \u2018will leave\u2019 if the right opportunity to return to management arises.<\/p>\n The shock report alleges that Klopp \u2018would only accept leaving Red Bull for one of two destinations: the Brazilian national team or Real Madrid<\/a>\u2018.<\/p>\n Klopp is said to earn between \u20ac12m and \u20ac14m with Red Bull, but \u2018his dissatisfaction has been a recurring theme in the corridors of the multi-million dollar company in recent weeks.\u2019<\/p>\n UOL\u00a0adds that the Brazilian federation \u2018have not approached\u2019 Klopp yet and Carlo Ancelotti and Jorge Jesus remain their top manager targets. Ancelotti, however, is \u2018at risk\u2019 at Madrid, so there could be a vacancy at the Bernabeu in the coming months.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong>:\u00a0Liverpool star\u2019s father drops huge Real Madrid transfer hint as FULL quotes emerge<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n England, Germany jobs could be future options for Klopp \u2013 sources<\/strong><\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Klopp has been linked with Madrid since leaving Liverpool<\/a> and TEAMtalk contributor Ben Jacobs shed light on the rumours last month.<\/p>\n Despite the noise, Jacobs understands that Klopp is fully focused on his Red Bull job for now and\u00a0if\u00a0he was to return to management, an international role would be most likely.<\/a><\/p>\n As we reported, Klopp could be a concrete option for England or Germany should Thomas Tuchel or Julian Nagelsmann be relieved of their duties following the 2026 World Cup. Jacobs also confirmed that Ancelotti and Jesus are the top targets for Brazil.<\/p>\n However, the idea that Klopp could leave Red Bull after just a few months there is not accurate to our understanding.<\/p>\n As for Madrid, it is true that they could decide to part ways with Ancelotti this summer. Their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal tonight, which they trail 3-0 on aggregate, could have a big bearing on the esteemed coach\u2019s future.<\/p>\n But despite Klopp being linked with Madrid in recent weeks, sources state that Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is their top target to replace Ancelotti.<\/p>\n No approaches have been made to Klopp by Los Blancos, and it would be a HUGE shock to see him leave Red Bull this year.<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS<\/strong>:\u00a0Real Madrid wages: Top 11 highest-paid players on football\u2019s biggest wage bill<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news: West Ham raid,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34 West Ham make Liverpool ace \u2018top\u2019 transfer target \u2013 and Reds WILL sell<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool to steamroll competition for \u2018best young English player since Jude Bellingham\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Sources: Eddie Howe intervenes as Liverpool, Arsenal chase Newcastle superstar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
