Real Madrid’s hunt for a manager has been meandering on for the past three months since Xabi Alonso was sacked in January after the Spanish Supercup. One name continues to be brought up more than any other, Jurgen Klopp.
The former Liverpool manager has on several occasions moved to cool talk that he could be headed to Real Madrid this summer. Yet with few obvious options at the Santiago Bernabeu, and a known affection from one of President Florentino Perez’s closest advisors, the story has refused to go away. Klopp has insisted that he has no intentions to come out of retirement, sticking to his role as Chief of Global Soccer at Red Bull.
Klopp hoping to become German national coach
As per Diario AS, Klopp is not a candidate for the Real Madrid job. Their information is that Klopp would consider ocming out of retirement, but has his heart set on the Germany national team should Julian Nagelsmann vacate the role. The ex-Bayern Munich coach is out of contract after the 2026 World Cup. It is added that Real Madrid are not considering him as an option to replace Alvaro Arbeloa.
