Jurgen Klopp is in no rush to return to management and will turn down any opportunities that arise this summer, it’s been claimed.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season and is now working as head of global soccer for Red Bull, where he oversees the drinks company’s array of clubs.
The former Liverpool boss is enjoying a lower profile with Red Bull, who allow him to stay connected with the game, but without the glare of the spotlight and so much stress.
Anas Laghari, one of the men hoping to take over from Real president Florentino Perez, is reportedly a fan of Klopp and would try to tempt him to join should he take control of Los Blancos.

However, that would be a non-starter, according to The Telegraph, which reports that Klopp won’t even consider a return to management until 2026 at the earliest – and he might decide never to take the reins at another club.
He has become a grandfather for the first time and is very happy with both his personal life and current job.

Were Klopp to be tempted back to management, it seems much more likely that he would do so for an international role.
Ironically, Ancelotti has also been constantly linked with taking over the Selecao.
Speaking back in 2024 when his time at Liverpool was coming to an end, Klopp explained his reasons for moving away from management.
