Klopp's agent reveals 2 Premier League clubs tried to sign him after leaving Liverpool

Jürgen Klopp’s agent and trusted adviser, Marc Kosicke, recently revealed that both Chelsea and Manchester United attempted to snap up the German tactician after he left Liverpool. 

Klopp transformed Liverpool during his nine-year tenure (2015–2024), famously ending their 30-year title drought by winning the Premier League in the 2019/2020 season. He secured eight major trophies at Anfield, including the 2018/2019 Champions League.

After his exit, he transitioned to an executive position. Since January 2025, Klopp has served as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull, overseeing the strategic development of their international network of clubs.

Despite vowing never to coach another English club, Kosicke. Klopp’s representative revealed that Chelsea and Manchester United attempted to convince him. 

"Even Chelsea and Manchester United enquired, although Jürgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England. These enquiries keep coming,” he told Transfermarkt. 

“He's extremely happy with what he's achieved. And it's still wonderful to go down in history as one of the few coaches who only managed three clubs and were never fired.

"Maybe at some point he'll say he needs to smell the locker room again. But at the moment, he's very, very happy in his role. Before joining Red Bull, Jürgen could have coached the USA or England. Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn't already been there."
