Klopp’s Agent Calls Al Ittihad Links ‘Nonsense’ and Rules Out Saudi Move

Kosicke’s rejection highlights Klopp’s Red Bull contract and leaves a Germany coaching offer as the only plausible exception.

Overview

  • Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke publicly dismissed reports that Al Ittihad had approached the coach, calling the stories “annoying” and “nonsense” in comments published on Monday.
  • The denials follow social and regional reports claiming Al Ittihad had sought Klopp for a technical or directorial role after Sergio Conceição left the club.
  • Klopp is employed as the Red Bull Group’s Global Head of Soccer and is under contract through 2029, a status Kosicke cited when rejecting club‑level speculation.
  • Kosicke told outlets that Klopp is happy in his Red Bull role and has no current ambition to return to day‑to‑day coaching, while noting a Germany national‑team offer could change his stance.
  • The episode underscores how repeated unconfirmed social and media reports can spread despite direct denials and leaves Al Ittihad without a publicly confirmed appointment for next season.
