The Athletic network revealed that the American national team tried to sign coach Jurgen Klopp during the past hours, but the German had a strict response in this regard.
America announced the dismissal of coach Gregg Berhalter from coaching the national team following the farewell of Copa America 2024, which was hosted by Uncle Sam’s country, in the group stage.
The Americans placed the option of contracting with Klopp at the top of their priorities, while giving him a salary that would have made him the most expensive coach in the history of the United States.
But according to “The Athletic,” Klopp immediately rejected the idea of coaching America, and preferred to continue his vacation that he announced upon his departure from Liverpool, which will extend for at least a year.
It remains unknown what Klopp will do after the end of next season, and whether he will return to training again or retire, as he repeatedly stressed that “his energy has run out” and that the option of retirement is on the table for him.
It is noteworthy that the best period for the American national team in recent years was under the leadership of another German coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, which explains the Americans’ obsession with the idea of contracting with Klopp, in addition to the fact that the former Liverpool coach is one of the best football coaches in the last decade.
