Jurgen Klopp’s agent has dismissed recent rumours linking the German with roles at Real Madrid and Brazil.
Klopp has been named as a potential target for both positions. Real Madrid are expected to part company with Carlo Ancelotti this summer, with reports this week that the Italian could leave after this month’s Copa del Rey final. The Spanish side saw their defence of the Champions League ended by Arsenal this week.

Klopp has also been considered as a contender to take charge of Brazil. The South American nation sacked Dorival Junior after losing 4-1 to Argentina in World Cup qualifying last month.
Brazil are fourth in South America’s qualification table and have lost five of their 14 games. The five-time winners are seeking a new head coach to lead them to the 2026 World Cup next summer.
However, Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke has dismissed the rumours. He said the ex-Liverpool boss is happy in his current role as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull. Klopp began the position in January, after leaving Liverpool last summer.
The 57-year-old called time on his nine-year spell at Anfield at the end of last season, having lifted the Premier League and Champions League among his honours.
“Jürgen is very happy with his new role as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull. He’s fully focused and happy there,” Kosicke told Sky Sports Germany.
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is understood to remain Real Madrid’s top target, while outgoing boss Ancelotti has been named as an option for Brazil.
