Jurgen Klopp to Real Madrid claim made in former Liverpool boss next job 'update'

Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a number of jobs since leaving Liverpool last year

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would reportedly only consider two managerial jobs after departing Anfield last summer. After stepping down as manager, the German stated he would take a break from coaching but hasn't stated he would never step in the dugout again.

Klopp, who won the Champions League, Premier League, two League Cups, and the FA Cup with Liverpool, now serves as the global head of soccer for the Red Bull football group - taking on an advisory role rather than managing a team.

Explaining the role, he said: "Basically, I'm an advisor. Hopefully, I can bring calm in different ways and, in other situations, assess things correctly and help the coaches.

"But I just want to support, not interfere, because I know how disruptive that is. Instead, I want to pass on my experience and work in the world that I know best."

However, it has been claimed he could return to the dugout in the near future to replace former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid manager.

The Italian has had a challenging year at the Bernabeu, with Real currently second in La Liga and suffered a Champions League quarter-final exit to Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Now, Brazilian outlet UOL has detailed there are two jobs Klopp would return to management for. The report claims these would be offers to coach the Spanish giants, or the Brazil national team.

The Mirror adds that Madrid insiders suggest there's growing momentum within the Bernabeu hierarchy to target Klopp.

Advisers to president Florentino Perez are reportedly pushing the idea that Klopp could be the ideal solution to the club’s tactical struggles.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian Football Confederation are searching for Dorival Junior's successor after sacking him following Brazil's 4-1 defeat to rivals Argentina in a World Cup qualifier last month.

Brazil currently sit fourth out of 10 South American teams in their qualification group.
