Jurgen Klopp’s Agent Responds to Claims Liverpool Legend Has Agreed to Become Roma Manager

Italian Reports Spark Rumor Frenzy

It all began when Italian outlet La Stampa reported that Klopp had agreed to take over AS Roma. The article suggested that following Roma’s 3-1 victory over AC Milan, Klopp spoke directly with Roma president Dan Friedkin and gave a verbal agreement to manage the club starting next season.

The news quickly spread across Europe, igniting speculation about Klopp’s surprise return to management.

Marc Kosicke’s Direct Response

Just hours later, Marc Kosicke issued a statement denying the claims. “Reports on Klopp becoming new AS Roma manager are not true,” he told Sport1. “Jurgen is enjoying his current role and has no intention of coaching next season.”

This statement puts to rest any immediate expectations of Klopp’s return to the touchline.

Klopp’s Role at Red Bull Global Soccer

Since stepping down as Liverpool boss at the end of the 2023/24 season, Klopp has served as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull. His job includes overseeing football strategy for clubs like RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls.

Insiders say he enjoys mentoring young coaches and influencing club philosophy without the daily pressures of management.

Why Roma Rumors Caught Fire

Klopp is adored in Italy due to his attacking football and emotional charisma. Roma, struggling for long-term consistency, are desperate for a high-profile coach. With José Mourinho and Claudio Ranieri gone, fans and media alike dream of a leader like Klopp bringing glory back to the capital.

What’s Next for Jurgen Klopp?

Although Klopp has not closed the door permanently on returning to management, he has said he needs at least one year off. “After 24 years of nonstop coaching, I want to breathe,” Klopp told German media earlier this year.

His contract with Red Bull reportedly runs until 2027, but could include an early exit clause if he wishes to coach again.

Why Klopp’s Name Still Carries Weight

Klopp’s status as a footballing icon remains unshaken. At Liverpool, he delivered the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, and more. His charisma and tactical brilliance make him one of the most desirable coaches in the world—even when he’s not coaching.

Fan Reactions to Roma Rumors

Roma fans expressed excitement on social media before the rumor was denied. Liverpool supporters, on the other hand, seemed torn—some hoping to see Klopp return to coaching, others supporting his decision to rest and recharge.

Football fans universally agree: Klopp deserves whatever he chooses next.
