Klopp Explains Rejecting Manchester United Job
Jurgen Klopp said Manchester United approached him around Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2013 retirement but he turned the job down because the timing was wrong and he was under contract at Borussia Dortmund. He said United’s pitch—centred on assembling big-name returns such as Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo—felt like buying stars rather than building a long-term football identity, calling it 'not my project.' Klopp said he joined Liverpool in 2015 after being persuaded by a 'pure football' project and talks with Fenway Sports Group’s Mike Gordon, and he led a transformative nine-year spell that brought major trophies including the club’s first Premier League title in 30 years and a Champions League. He left Anfield in 2024 and is now Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer. Klopp said a return to Liverpool is 'theoretically possible,' though he insists he does not plan to coach elsewhere in England.
