Klopp Says No to AS Roma Coaching Rumors

Rumors said Jürgen Klopp would be AS Roma’s next coach. But Klopp’s agent denied this, ending the speculation. This came after many thought he would take the job right after leaving Liverpool.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Italian media reported Klopp would take over at Roma after Claudio Ranieri left. These rumors spread fast, saying Klopp would return to coaching soon. However, his agent, Marc Kosicke, said, “The information regarding Klopp becoming Roma’s next head coach is false.” This makes it clear the rumors about Klopp moving to Serie A are not true.

ROMA’S SEASON IN CONTEXT

Roma did well under Claudio Ranieri. Ranieri returned in November and led Roma to a top-four finish in Serie A. They secured a Champions League spot for next season. Roma is third, four points above Atalanta, who is fourth, and has a five-point lead over fifth-place Juventus. Roma’s next match is against Atalanta, a key game for third place. Both teams want to secure their European spots.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR KLOPP?

Klopp left Liverpool last season after nine successful years, saying he needed a break. Now, he works for Red Bull, overseeing their global football operations. Klopp’s agent says he is not ready to coach again and hasn’t committed to any job for next season. Roma needs a new coach for their Champions League campaign in 2025-26. But Klopp’s future remains uncertain, with many thinking he might only come back for a national team role.
