Jürgen Klopp Linked with Real Madrid Managerial Role

Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has emerged as a potential candidate to take over as Real Madrid head coach if the Spanish club opts to appoint a new manager ahead of the summer.

Real Madrid are currently under the interim guidance of Álvaro Arbeloa following Xabi Alonso’s resignation on Monday, just eight months into his tenure.

Klopp, who left Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season after a highly successful spell that yielded six major trophies, including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, is now Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull—a position he assumed in January 2025. Despite his long-term contract with Red Bull, reports suggest the German coach is seriously considering the possibility of managing Real Madrid.

According to Sky Germany, Klopp “would give serious consideration to a move should Real Madrid make a formal approach.” The broadcaster also noted on December 11 that the former Liverpool boss was among the names under the club’s watch in the event of Alonso’s departure.
