Bayern Munich and Germany great Manuel Neuer has offered two potential jobs to Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool manager decided to leave at the end of the season.
Klopp is set to step down as Anfield manager at the end of the 2023-24 season. He suddenly admitted that he had “no energy” left. As well as speculation over who will replace the German at Anfield – Xabi Alonso is the clear favorite according to the bookies – there are also questions about what Klopp will do next.
Following his announcement, the 56-year-old announced that he would never manage another England team again and would take a leave of absence. Many football pundits have identified the Germany international as a possible option, with World Cup champion Neuer saying he could “imagine” Klopp taking the job.
But even more surprisingly, the 37-year-old goalkeeper has been told by the former Dortmund manager that he is “absolutely” a candidate for Bayern. Asked if Klopp could manage Bayern Munich, Neuer said: “I think it depends on him. “I don’t think there is anything against Bayern because they are famous, they are a very good manager, experienced and tactically astute, they have a lot of respect from all footballers and sportsmen and they are definitely potential candidates.” Bayern can work.
At any given moment. “Of course, it’s up to him if he wants to. Maybe he wants to rest first”. Maybe he doesn’t want to deal with routine things. I imagine he will become a national coach one day. Of course, it depends on the person first. “Asked if he would like to move to Bayern Munich in 2022,” Klopp said: “I could have gone to Bayern many times, I could have won more titles in my life, but it’s clear, I didn’t “.
“I signed a contract here, but I’ve never been to Bayern”. It’s really okay. We want the world to be full of challenges, not full of winners. I try and sometimes win along with a few other people. “I’m glad of that.”
