Jurgen Klopp Shuts Down Rumors of AS Roma Move

Jurgen Klopp has denied rumors about him becoming AS Roma’s new head coach. He made it clear that he isn’t planning to return to coaching anytime soon.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Recently, there were rumors that the former Liverpool manager would take over as AS Roma’s head coach after Claudio Ranieri. Some reports even claimed Klopp was making plans for new signings. However, Klopp called these reports “bullshit” and said the rumors of him coaching again soon were false. His agent had also denied the reports earlier.

ROMA’S SEARCH FOR A NEW MANAGER CONTINUES

Roma recently completed the Serie A season with interim coach Claudio Ranieri and have been searching for a new long-term coach. With Klopp ruling himself out, the club will need to look elsewhere to fill the position. Roma finished the season in sixth place, securing a spot in the Europa League but missing out on Champions League football. Their inconsistent form and a lack of stability on the bench have increased the importance of finding a new manager for next season.

KLOPP’S FUTURE PLANS

Klopp left Liverpool after the 2023-24 season to take up a role as head of global soccer for Red Bull, where he oversees several clubs and projects through at least 2030. He has said he is happy to be taking a break from the intense world of coaching and that he doesn’t see himself returning to the dugout any time soon. As his future is settled, attention turns to who Roma will appoint as their next manager as the club prepares for pre-season and a Europa League campaign.
