Jürgen Klopp (57) is emerging as a candidate for the next coach of Real Madrid.
British media outlet TBR Football reported on the 29th (Korea time) that "three teams are interested in Klopp, who has left Liverpool. The possibility of a return to the field is also open."
Real Madrid is looking for a successor to head coach Carlo Ancelotti. They are closely monitoring Klopp.
The possibility of Ancelotti leaving the team has been raised as he is mentioned as a candidate for the Brazil national team head coach. The Athletic reported on the 27th that "the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is considering Ancelotti as a candidate ahead of the 2026 North and Central American World Cup."
TBR Football reported that "Real Madrid's decision-makers are in internal discussions regarding the appointment of Klopp. While Klopp is not rushing his return, Real is paying attention to him as a leader who can guide world-class stars and promising players." Real is also considering Klopp alongside Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen) as a strong candidate for the head coach position.
The Brazil national team is also keeping an eye on Klopp. The media explained that "while Ancelotti is the top choice for Brazil, Klopp is also among the candidates." However, it seems that the priority lies with Ancelotti.
It is not only Brazil that is interested in Klopp. The United States is also reported to consider Klopp as a candidate if they part ways with head coach Mauricio Pochettino in the future.
Klopp is a figure who has made a significant mark in Liverpool's history. He led Liverpool for nine seasons from 2015 to 2024, winning major tournaments including the English Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Community Shield, and UEFA Champions League. After stepping down at the end of the 2024 season, he is currently working as an administrator at the Red Bull Group.
