Italian newspaper La Stampa recently sparked rumours that Jürgen Klopp was set to take the reins at Roma. However, the legendary coach’s representative quickly quashed the speculation, confirming that there’s no truth to the claims.

According to reports, La Stampa’s story was allegedly fueled by a cryptic video on social media featuring the initials of Rome’s iconic landmarks, which seemed to spell out “KLOPP.” However, the newspaper has since retracted its claims, acknowledging the apparent misinterpretation.

Roma will be without legendary coach Claudio Ranieri, who will officially step down at the end of the season.

As it stands, Klopp remains content in his role as global head of soccer for Red Bull, overseeing the group’s various clubs worldwide. His responsibilities have taken him to different parts of the globe, including Brazil, Japan, and the United States, where he’s worked closely with Red Bull’s international teams.

Meanwhile, Leipzig, one of the German clubs under Red Bull’s umbrella, recently concluded a disappointing campaign, finishing seventh in the Bundesliga. The team’s rebuild is likely a key aspect of Klopp’s strategy, and it’s clear that he remains committed to his role within the Red Bull organisation.

With the rumours now laid to rest, Klopp fans can rest assured that the highly respected coach will continue to focus on his global responsibilities, rather than pursuing a new managerial role at Roma or elsewhere.
