Two years on from leaving Liverpool after complaints of fatigue, Jürgen Klopp has made a return to management to take over the Germany men’s national team.
In the first summer after stepping down at Anfield, Klopp opened himself up to the prospect of working again in soccer but rejected the notion of laboring through the daily grind of coaching. “I’m going to do some work. I’m too young to only do padel tennis and grandchildren,” he told the International Coaches’ Congress in Wurzburg, Germany in July 2024. “Will that be coach again? I would actually rule that out at the moment.”
