Ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s agent, Xabi Alonso break silence on Real Madrid links

NEW DELHI: Jurgen Klopp is content in his role as Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull, his agent Marc Kosicke confirmed on Friday, amid speculation linking him to Real Madrid. Klopp assumed his position with Red Bull in January, overseeing clubs such as RB Leipzig, New York Red Bulls, and Bragantino.The rumours about Klopp potentially returning to management surfaced following Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final exit to Arsenal, which has put pressure on current manager Carlo Ancelotti. German media suggested that Klopp was a candidate to replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid.However, Kosicke emphasised to Sky Deutschland that the 57-year-old former Liverpool manager is satisfied with his current job at Red Bull. RB Leipzig coach Zsolt Low echoed this sentiment, stating he "could not imagine" Klopp leaving for Real Madrid and praising Klopp's ability to unite and lead large groups effectively."Jurgen is very happy with his new role with Red Bull," Kosicke told Sky Deutschland."he's shown that he can bring a club together, a group of 40, 50, 60 people, and take them with him," he added. "He adds incredible value with his experience, his human quality and his energy."Klopp's career spans 23 years, during which he managed Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool, always departing on his terms. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid player, is seen as a frontrunner for the Real Madrid job. Alonso, however, stated on Friday that it was "not the time" to discuss his future.
