Jürgen Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke said his client had his pick of teams to manage after leaving Liverpool, including approaches from both the United States and England to take over as coach of their respective national teams.
Kosicke also said in an interview with Transfermarkt that the 58-year-old German could have managed Manchester United and Chelsea following his departure from Anfield at the end of the 2023-24 season.
United and Chelsea both strongly deny having made approaches to Klopp, either personally or via an agent, sources told PA.
The former Mainz and Borussia Dortmund manager spent nine years at Liverpool before taking on his current role as head of global football with Red Bull.
Kosicke said: “Maybe at some point he’ll say he needs to smell the locker room again. But at the moment he’s very, very happy in his role.
“Before joining Red Bull, Jürgen could have coached the USA or England. Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn’t already been there.”
He added: “Even Chelsea and Manchester United inquired, although Jurgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England.
“These inquiries keep coming. He’s extremely happy with what he’s achieved. And it’s still wonderful to go down in history as one of the few coaches who only managed three clubs and were never fired.”
Kosicke claimed the United States approached Klopp before they appointed Mauricio Pochettino as a replacement for Gregg Berhalter in September 2024, while the Football Association named Thomas Tuchel as Gareth Southgate’s successor in January 2025.
The FA has been approached for comment.
