Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has firmly denied recent speculation linking him to the vacant head coach position at AS Roma.
Describing the rumours as “complete nonsense”, Klopp was unequivocal in shutting down the story. “If you read any rumours about me taking a coaching job in the next few years, it’s rubbish. You can be the first to say it,” he stated.
Klopp parted ways with Liverpool in 2024 after a highly successful nine-year tenure, during which he transformed the club’s fortunes. Since January 2025, he has been serving as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull, a role focused on strategic leadership rather than hands-on coaching.
The German coach’s outright rejection of the Roma links, combined with his new executive responsibilities, highlights a growing trend in football where former top-tier managers move into broader oversight roles.
While speculation will always swirl around big names, his current focus appears firmly fixed on shaping football’s future through strategic guidance rather than the day-to-day pressures of management.
