Negotiated several times
Automatically saved draft
According to the US portal "The Athletic", there were several talks between the USA FA and Jürgen Klopp. However, the German star coach turned them down - and therefore signed Mauricio Pochettino for the 2026 World Cup hosts.
However, Klopp is said to have turned the US association down not because of the money or lack of interest, but because he was convinced that he needed a break from soccer.
The 57-year-old German also emphasized this several times when he left Liverpool. There had already been reports in July that the USA had turned down an offer from Klopp. On Wednesday, the association announced that Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino would take over as team manager.
"I don't miss anything!"
Klopp recently said at the farewell match of Dortmund legends Lukasz Piszczek and Jakub Blaszczykowski: "I'm working! But not what I did before. I'm not just lazing around, but sometimes. I don't miss anything!"
