All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageDuring his time in charge of the Reds, the German won the Champions League and Premier League, and his close bond with the club prompted him to state he would never coach another English side.And even though Klopp has been Red Bull’s global head of soccer since January 2025, that hasn’t stopped him being consistently linked with a return to coaching.Real Madrid has been mentioned as a possible destination in recent weeks following Xabi Alonso’s departure in January.

And Murphy, speaking via CasinoHawks, believes: "I think Liverpool fans would understand if Jurgen Klopp took the Real Madrid job.“They adore him and love him so much. They probably think Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two clubs he might manage, other than managing Liverpool again one day."He said he'd never manage another club in England, and I believe in the relationship he has with the city and the supporters, I don't think he'd ever go back on that.“I think they'd wish him well until the day they played each other.

I think they think that highly of him."However, Murphy’s claims come after Klopp earlier this week admitted he might coach again, but slammed speculation that he will return to management with Real this summer as 'nonsense'.He said: "If Real Madrid had phoned, we would have heard about it by now. My agent is there, you can ask him."They haven't called him either.
