He denied any talks with Real but says he might coach again.<\/p>\n
The German told reporters at the Magenta TV World Cup team presentation in Munich: “If Real Madrid had phoned, we would have heard about it by now.<\/p>\n
“But that’s all nonsense. They haven’t called even once, not once. My agent is there, you can ask him. They haven’t called him either.<\/p>\n
“Right now I’m not thinking about that, luckily there’s no reason to.<\/p>\n
“For my age I’m quite advanced in life, but as a coach I’m not completely finished. I haven’t reached retirement age.<\/p>\n
“Who knows what will happen in the coming years? But there’s nothing planned.”<\/p>\n
Klopp was appointed Liverpool boss in October 2015 and his contract was due to run until 2026.<\/p>\n
However, he made a shock announcement in January 2024 he would step down at the end of the 2023-24 campaign after “running out of energy”.<\/p>\n
Klopp won the Champions League in 2019 before leading Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years in 2019-20. <\/p>\n
During his tenure he also lifted the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
Despite not ruling out a return to coaching one day, the German made it clear in his statement two years ago he would not coach another Premier League side.<\/p>\n
“What I know definitely is that I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100%. That’s not possible,” he added.<\/p>\n
Klopp previously managed in Germany with Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, where he won back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
