'It’s all nonsense' – Klopp’s agent dismisses Al-Ittihad rumours

Jürgen Klopp's agent, Marc Kosicke, has forcefully rejected speculation linking the former Liverpool manager with a move to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad.

The German coach has recently been the subject of renewed rumours suggesting he could return to management with the Saudi club.

However, Kosicke has moved swiftly to shut down the reports, making it clear that Klopp has no plans to take charge of Al-Ittihad.

Speaking to WinWin Sports, Kosicke did not hide his frustration over the continued speculation surrounding his client.

"I am annoyed by all this nonsense. It's all annoying and completely untrue," Kosicke said.

The agent's comments follow earlier statements in which he firmly ruled out the possibility of Klopp managing Al-Ittihad in the near future.

"There is no possibility for Klopp to manage Al-Ittihad this year," he had previously stated.

Since leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season, Klopp has remained away from frontline coaching.

In January 2025, he officially began his role as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull GmbH, overseeing football operations across the company's network of clubs worldwide.

The position allows Klopp to remain involved in football at a strategic level while stepping away from the intense day-to-day demands of club management.
