Real Madrid is rumored to be targeting Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as a surprising replacement for current head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is expected to depart the Santiago Bernabeu in the near future.
Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid will come to an end at the conclusion of the next season, however, there have been discussions that he may leave before then.
Recently, Ancelotti was closely linked to the open position as head coach of the Brazil national team. This role became vacant after Tite resigned following Brazil’s elimination from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
However, the Italian coach has stated that he is not interested in leaving Real Madrid to take on the job with the Brazil national team.
According to Todofichajes, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez might consider hiring Klopp if he decides to leave Liverpool at the end of the current season.
Liverpool, who will face Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16, have experienced a disappointing season and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table.
Despite spending seven years at Liverpool, this season may be Klopp’s last with the club, which could lead to a potential move to the La Liga champions.
Klopp has enjoyed success in both his stints at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool and would be a strong contender to take over at Real Madrid if Ancelotti were to depart.
