However, with LFC now facing an uphill battle just to get into the Champions League, there’s an increasing sense that the 47-year-old will lose his job if he falls short in that mission. Klopp teases potential return to coaching Speaking at the Magenta TV World Cup team presentation in Munich, Klopp dismissed speculation linking him with the Real Madrid job but has lef the door open for a return to coaching further down the line. He told reporters (via BBC Sport ): “If Real Madrid had phoned, we would have heard about it by now, but that’s all nonsense.
They haven’t called even once, not once. My agent is there; you can ask him. They haven’t called him either.
Right now I’m not thinking about that. Luckily there’s no reason to. “For my age I’m quite advanced in life, but as a coach I’m not completely finished.
I haven’t reached retirement age. Who knows what will happen in the coming years? But there’s nothing planned.
