Jurgen Klopp Not Taking Germany Managerial Position
Liverpool fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Jurgen Klopp’s agent has confirmed that his client won’t be taking the recently vacated Germany managerial position. The speculation began to surface when Hansi Flick was removed from the role at the weekend.
Flick’s sacking came after his side fell to a 4-1 friendly defeat to Japan on Saturday, meaning that the German FA are on the lookout for a new manager to lead them at the Euro 2024 as hosts. Being a high-profile and successful German manager, Klopp is often a name that gets linked to the position whenever it becomes available, despite having been at Anfield since 2015.
Marc Kosicke, Klopp’s agent, has dismissed any of those rumours and insisted that Klopp remains committed to seeing out his “long-term contract” at Liverpool. Speaking to Sportschau, Kosicke explained: “Jurgen has a long-term contract with LFC and is not available for the national coaching position.”
Klopp himself has tended to dodge the subject of coaching his national team, but he did admit to Sky Germany that it would be a “great honour” to manage his country back in July. The German did however add that the “loyalty” and “responsibility” he feels towards his club mean that he would not walk away prematurely.
It was also reported earlier this week that the concept of Klopp combining his duties with Liverpool and Germany would be “definitely out of the question” for the 56-year-old.
Klopp signed a new deal at Anfield last April to extend his stay until the summer of 2026, which is set to take his tenure beyond a decade. His previous stints at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund lasted exactly seven seasons, meaning that Liverpool will comfortably be the place at which he has remained the longest.
Fans will be hoping that Klopp opts to renew his terms for an even longer period, but they can at least rest assured that they will get at least two more years of this incredible era beyond the 2023/24 season.
Klopp’s Commitment to Liverpool
Klopp has been an integral part of Liverpool’s success since he arrived in 2015. He has taken the club from mid-table mediocrity to one of Europe’s elite teams, winning the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.
The German manager has become a fan favourite at Anfield and is widely regarded as one of the best managers in world football. His commitment to Liverpool has been unwavering and he has shown no signs of wanting to leave anytime soon.
Klopp’s agent’s comments have put an end to any speculation linking him with the Germany job and have eased the fears of Liverpool fans who were worried that he might leave Merseyside for his homeland.
Klopp’s Legacy
Klopp’s legacy at Liverpool is already secure and he has cemented himself as one of the club’s greatest ever managers. He has transformed the team from a mid-table side into one of Europe’s elite teams and has led them to two major trophies in recent years.
Klopp is also renowned for his passionate and charismatic personality, which has endeared him to fans all over the world. He has become a cult hero at Anfield and is loved by fans for his enthusiasm and commitment to the club.
Klopp’s legacy at Liverpool will live on long after he leaves the club and he will be remembered as one of the greatest managers in the club’s history.
