Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a return to management in recent weeks, with Real Madrid interested.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are interested in appointing Jurgen Klopp as their next manager, and the 58-year-old would be open to joining them next summer. The development will come as a huge boost for Los Blancos, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring the German tactician back to management.
There is no doubt that Klopp is one of the best coaches of his generation, and he has proven that at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. The 58-year-old would be an exceptional acquisition for Real Madrid, and he would be an upgrade on Xabi Alonso. The Spanish manager has not been able to live up to the expectations this season, and Real Madrid are looking at alternatives.
Los Blancos are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and the pressure to win trophies is immense. They are expected to fight for every trophy, and Alonso has not been able to deliver so far. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are prepared to show him the door in the coming months.
Klopp to replace Alonso?
Ideally, Real Madrid should stick with Xabi Alonso until the end of the season and give him the time to turn things around. If he fails to do so, it would be wise of them to bring in a more experienced candidate like Klopp in the summer.
The German tactician has already proven himself as a world-class manager multiple times, and the opportunity to manage a big club like Real Madrid could be exciting for him. He will look to win major trophies with them and guide them back to the top of European football.
The 58-year-old has been linked with a return to Liverpool in recent months as well. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League giants decide to make a move for him in the coming months. Arne Slot is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season, and there have been rumours that the Dutch manager could be shown the door.
