Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp recently lashed out at a press conference in Germany, denouncing absurd rumors linking him to the Real Madrid job.
The 58-year-old German coach made it clear that he is currently focused on his work and is extremely annoyed by the media's fabrication of news.
Since early 2025, Klopp has served as the global head of football for Red Bull Group, providing professional advice on football matters to clubs such as RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg.
In addition, Klopp's schedule remains full, and it has been officially announced that he will join Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels as World Cup commentators for Magenta TV this summer.
Despite rumors that Klopp was preparing to resign due to his inability to adapt to Red Bull's behind-the-scenes working style, Klopp personally dismissed these claims as baseless nonsense.
At the press conference, media outlets mentioned reports that Klopp might replace Álvaro Arbeloa as manager of Real Madrid. Klopp dismissed these reports as "idiotic nonsense" and questioned whether the baseless claims were generated by artificial intelligence or fabricated by journalists.
Klopp clarified that Real Madrid had never made a single phone call to him in his entire life. To express his dissatisfaction with these unfounded speculations, Klopp even displayed his signature ironic humor on the spot, suggesting he might as well take over Atlético Madrid as well.
With the rumor debunked, Klopp emphasized that the media needs to maintain at least some discipline in their reporting, rather than fabricating facts without any bottom line, and that he currently has absolutely no plans to coach Real Madrid.
