Jurgen Klopp's agent breaks his silence on German 'accepting' shock new job where he could come up against Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp's agent has spoken out amid rumours the former Liverpool boss has 'accepted' a new job in management.
Klopp, 57, ended his legendary spell at Liverpool last season and returned to football with Red Bull as their Head of Global Football.
He started his new role on January 1, 2025, penning a four-year contract.
But a sensational return to the dugout has been mooted.

That's according to a report in Italy as La Stampa claim Klopp has agreed to become the new AS Roma coach.
Roma are looking to replace Claudio Ranieri, who will leave his post when his short-term deal expires in June.
Per the report, Klopp had already reached a verbal agreement with another club poised for a change in ownership, but changed his mind and opted for the Roma gig instead.
His final decision reportedly came just minutes after the final whistle of Roma's 3-1 victory over AC Milan last weekend.
However, Klopp's agent Mark Kosicke has dismissed speculation linking his client with a move to the Roma-based outfit.
"Reports on Klopp becoming new AS Roma manager are not true," he told Qatar outlet Winwin Sports.
The German walked away from Anfield at the end of last season.
He left the club, having won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
He mentioned 'running out of energy' when explaining his decision to leave Liverpool.
Klopp has been out of management since leaving Liverpool but has been linked with several jobs, including Real Madrid.
He was believed to be in the running for the gig until they opted for Xabi Alonso.
Ex-Real midfielder Alonso, who spent five seasons in the Spanish capital, is set to become the new Los Blancos head coach ahead of the Club World Cup.
He is set to replace Carlo Ancelotti, who is to take charge of the Brazil national team after finishing the season at Real.
