Jürgen Klopp’s agent has denied any possibility of the German coach becoming the next Real Madrid manager. This comes after Enrique Riquelme, who is contesting for the Real Madrid presidency, claimed he would hold contacts next week with Raúl to explore Klopp becoming the new manager if he wins the elections.
This was Marc Kosicke, Klopp’s agent, speaking to SkySportDE:
It’s annoying. He’s not planning to return to coaching a club and happy at Red Bull.
Softfootball gathered, Kosicke maintained that Klopp is happy to remain at Red Bull and does not have any interest in returning to football management anytime soon.
This development is shocking, as Real Madrid have already appointed José Mourinho as the new manager. Should Enrique Riquelme win the election, it would suggest he does not have strong plans to work with Mourinho.
The next Real Madrid presidential election takes place tomorrow, Sunday, 7 June 2026. Voting will occur at the Basketball Pavilion of Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas, after the venue was moved from the Santiago Bernabéu due to a conflicting major event in the city.
