Jürgen Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, has made it clear that he will not be taking on coaching roles for the United States or England national teams. Speaking at the International Coaches’ Congress in Germany, Klopp stated that he is currently not considering any coaching positions, whether it be for a club or a country.
Although Klopp did not specify any job openings, his comments effectively eliminate him from the running for the current coaching vacancies with the U.S. and England teams. This decision comes as a blow to the U.S. Soccer Federation, which was reportedly interested in bringing Klopp on board to lead the USMNT into the 2026 World Cup.
After stepping down from his position at Liverpool due to burnout, Klopp expressed his desire to continue working in soccer in some capacity. However, he made it clear that if asked at the moment, he would decline any coaching offers. Despite his successful track record, it seems unlikely that Klopp will change his mind about coaching the U.S. or England teams.
With the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup on the horizon, both the U.S. and England will need to look elsewhere for their next head coach. While the search continues for suitable candidates, Klopp remains focused on taking a break from coaching and exploring other opportunities in the world of football.
As Klopp’s coaching future remains uncertain, fans will have to wait and see where his next move will take him. In the meantime, the football world is abuzz with speculation about who will fill the coaching vacancies for the U.S. and England national teams. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
