The 5 possible destinations for Jürgen Klopp after his departure from Liverpool!

“What I know for sure is that I will never, ever manage any other club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent. It is not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is too great. I will not be able. I couldn’t think about it for a second. There’s no chance. I won’t manage a club or a country for at least a year, it’s not possible, I can’t do that and I don’t want to.”. This is what Jürgen Klopp said a few minutes after announcing his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season. An unequivocal media release already drawing the contours of its future. However, if Xabi Alonso is announced as the big favorite to succeed the former Borussia Dortmund coach, the future of the 56-year-old German remains much more unclear. Enough to wonder about the potential destinations for the architect of the Reds.

Two selections stand out!

In this context, The Sun draws up five possible avenues for the rest of the career of the man who is today considered a true legend on the Anfield side. If a new challenge in the Premier League is unthinkable for Klopp and the latter should take a break of several months, several opportunities should still attract the attention of the main interested party. The first of these leads to the English selection. Under contract with the Three Lions until December 2024, Gareth Southgate could leave the ship after the Euro, moreover if England were to underperform during this competition organized across the Rhine. A possible scenario which would then allow Klopp to stay in England without having to face Liverpool…

Among the other destinations mentioned, Germany is, in this respect, well placed. If the German Football Federation had pushed hard to attract Klopp after dismissing Hansi Flick last September, Julian Nagelsmann finally signed a short-term contract until the end of the Euro. Given the interest shown in recent months by the Nationalmannschaft for the current boss of the Reds, there is no doubt that a new offensive could take place, even more so if the 2014 world champions were to miss each other next summer at home. Like England, this would also allow Klopp – who admitted that he was “running out of energy” – to get away from the intensity of the daily management of the club. Despite everything, various big names from Europe can also be added to this list of possible rebounds for the German coach.

A future in La Liga?

Recently extended until 2026, Carlo Ancelotti, also approached by Brazil, today seems to be firmly attached to the Real Madrid bench. However, if the Italian were to fail in his quest for a title, whether in La Liga or on the European scene, his future should again be quickly discussed. With this in mind, the Merengues could go on the attack for Jürgen Klopp, even if the choice Zinedine Zidane is also regularly advanced. Still in Spain, the native of Stuttgart is also mentioned in Catalonia. Under pressure and left behind in the championship, Xavi indeed sees criticism multiplying. Although he won La Liga last season, the former La Roja midfielder has hinted that he will leave the club if Barça do not win a trophy this season.

Finally, before becoming Liverpool coach in 2015, Klopp spent seven years in charge of Borussia Dortmund. During this period, he notably won two consecutive league titles and reached the Champions League final. If the Marsupials have today decided to bet on Edin Terzic, the sporting situation of the BVB is not necessarily sparkling. Despite assured qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League, the German club is currently fifth in the standings and relegated 15 lengths behind Bayer Leverkusen. After missing the title last season, the management of Dortmund could then consider a comeback from the one who popularized the “gegenpressing”. One thing is certain, if Jürgen Klopp has already assured that he will take a step back for at least a year, there will be no shortage of courtiers for the rest of his career…
