Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may have hinted at his next career move following his departure from Anfield.
Klopp stepped down from his role as Liverpool manager at the end of the 2023/24 season after nearly nine years in charge of the Merseyside club.
During his tenure, the German oversaw a highly successful period, clinching the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, and several other major trophies.
In his farewell speech to supporters, Klopp announced that he would be succeeded by former Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, who officially began his role as Liverpool head coach last month.
Klopp also mentioned that he planned to take some time away from football before deciding on his next steps.
Since leaving Liverpool, the 57-year-old has been linked with potential moves into international football, with both his native Germany and the United States mentioned as possibilities.
The USA recently exited the Copa America, just two years before hosting the World Cup, sparking calls for head coach Gregg Berhalter’s dismissal.
Former USA international Tim Howard has publicly advocated for Klopp to take charge of the national team.
“After the disappointment of Copa America, after the United States lost to Uruguay and exited at the group stages, I will personally fly to Spain. I mean it,” Howard told the Daily Mail.
“I know Klopp has only been retired a few weeks and I know he wants a break.
“But if we sat around his villa in Spain, I think I could lure him over here. 100 percent.
“The money is certainly there.
“So my pitch would be simple: he has a young group of players who can play progressive, front-foot soccer – exactly like his Liverpool teams.
“And in two years’ time he can go to the biggest World Cup in history.”
Jurgen Klopp’s recent social media message to his American supporters has only added to the speculation surrounding his future plans.
Klopp wrote on his Instagram: “It’s the perfect day to think about my trips with Liverpool FC to the States.
“We’ve had a great time & the US fans are electric! Happy 4th of July”.
