Overview
- Marc Kosicke said both Manchester United and Chelsea made approaches after Jürgen Klopp left Liverpool, despite his stance that he would not manage another English club.
- Before taking the Red Bull position, Klopp could have coached the United States or England national teams, with Germany considered a possibility if Julian Nagelsmann had not been in place.
- Kosicke revealed Bayern Munich came very close to hiring Klopp twice, around 2008 and again in 2019, underscoring long-standing interest from elite clubs.
- Klopp is described as very happy in his Red Bull role and is not seeking an immediate return to management, though a future comeback remains possible.
- The disclosures come from an exclusive Transfermarkt interview with Klopp’s agent that multiple outlets have reported, and Klopp remains Red Bull’s head of global soccer.
