Jürgen Klopp turned down United and Chelsea interest after leaving Liverpool

The German manager also could have had the England job, according to his agent

At present, he works for the Red Bull group as their global head of soccer and Kosicke told Transfermarkt that the 58-year-old has resisted a number of offers to return to football’s coalface.

“Maybe at some point he’ll say he needs to smell the locker room again,” Kosicke said. “But at the moment he’s very, very happy in his role. 

“Before joining Red Bull, Jürgen could have coached the USA or England. Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn’t already been there.

“Even Chelsea and Manchester United inquired, although Jürgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England. These inquiries keep coming. 

“He’s extremely happy with what he’s achieved. And it’s still wonderful to go down in history as one of the few coaches who only managed three clubs and were never fired.”
