Original Title: Jurgen Klopp is reportedly in advanced talks to succeed Diego Simeone at Atlético Madrid. Despite his current role with Red Bull, Spanish reports suggest Klopp is negotiating with Atlético’s majority owners to take over this summer.
Spanish media reveal that German coach Jürgen Klopp could soon make his return to the dugout after his departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2023-2024 season. Atlético de Madrid: ongoing discussions with Jürgen Klopp
According to exclusive information unveiled by the Spanish show “El Chiringuito,” negotiations have been underway for several days between Atlético de Madrid and Jürgen Klopp. The Madrid club’s management is keen to entrust the former Reds boss with the leadership of their new sporting project.
The same source reports that the talks are directly overseen by Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo, the club’s main shareholder. Rowan reportedly sees Klopp as the ideal candidate to steer Atlético into a new era.
The Rojiblancos’ project appears to appeal to the German coach, who previously admitted: “I like Atlético de Madrid’s profile. I went to Germany and didn’t join Bayern Munich, I went to Dortmund. I went to the Premier League and didn’t go to City, I went to Liverpool. I like Atlético de Madrid’s profile.”
Still according to El Chiringuito, the talks are progressing in a positive atmosphere and an agreement could be reached soon. The club’s new owners are also considering parting ways with coach Diego Simeone at the end of the current season.
