The future of Klopp, whose names is also mentioned with Real Madrid and the German National team, will become clear in the summer.”The last time Jurgen Klopp was questioned on links to Real Madrid and a potential return to management, he said:“It’s good that we’re talking about this.
Or when there’s actually something to it?”“Has Real Madrid ever called me? I’ll take over at Atlético Madrid as well, preferably at the same time.
Sorry Madrid, you’ll have to ring first!”“I’m not thinking about that at all at the moment [a return to management]. Who knows what the next few years will bring, but there are absolutely no plans in that regard”.It is the latest report to link Jurgen Klopp to a football club and to leave the door slightly ajar for a return to management.It is clear that Jurgen Klopp is enjoying his current role, but given he still has time on his side when it comes to being the manager of a football team, it appears that there can never quite be a definite no to the question of whether he will ever take charge of a team again.Fenerbahce sacked manager Domenico Tedesco on in April following a damaging 3-0 loss to Galatasaray in the title race.The defeat left Fenerbahce seven points behind the league leaders with three games left to play, and they will be looking to endure a more successful campaign next season.With that in mind, Jurgen Klopp is a man they are very much interested in to help them achieve that.
