Jurgen Klopp departed from Liverpool at the end of last season, concluding a highly successful period with the Premier League club.
The German manager led Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League glory, establishing them as a dominant force in European football.
Having joined the club in 2015, Klopp left in 2024, transforming a struggling Liverpool side into a world-class team that competed with and defeated the best in the world.
After leaving Liverpool, Klopp has been expected to take a break from football, but his reputation and success have continued to link him to high-profile jobs.
Klopp is now Germany’s top candidate to replace Julian Nagelsmann if he steps down from the national team role after the 2026 World Cup.
Sporting director Rudi Voller has spoken about the possibility of Klopp becoming the next Germany manager.
“I don’t even know what Jurgen would like to do next,” Voller said in an interview with Aktuelle Sportstudio, as quoted by The Mirror.
“If Julian Nagelsmann decides he prefers to coach a top club again, there’s no question that Klopp would be the obvious choice, if he wants it.”
Since his departure from Liverpool, Klopp has also been linked with the England job following Gareth Southgate’s exit.
The German is currently enjoying a well-deserved break after the pressures of keeping Liverpool at the top for so long.
Klopp has been succeeded by Arne Slot at Liverpool, and the Dutch manager has made an impressive start to life at Anfield.
While it remains unclear what Klopp’s future holds, he will have plenty of options once he decides to return to football.
The Germany job would be an ideal opportunity for Klopp to coach some of the world’s top young talent and take on the international stage, especially with his own country.
