Jürgen Klopp Takes on a New Coaching Role

In 2024, Jürgen Klopp (58 years old) left his position at Liverpool after several successful years. He decided to take a break before taking on a global director of football role with the Red Bull group. However, the former Borussia Dortmund coach has accepted an additional role as a consultant for the 2026 World Cup, despite initial statements suggesting otherwise. His remarks were reported by Liverpool Echo.

“Many of you always knew it was for the best. But I couldn’t really imagine it for myself. Going back to the sideline? I don’t miss that. That’s what I always thought. But now it excites me again. The grass under my feet. The charged atmosphere of the stadium. I’m so eager to be close again. Oh really? No, not as a coach. I’m becoming a consultant for Magenta TV during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.” This marks a new adventure for Klopp, where he will share his insights and expertise.
