Juergen Klopp Rejects Real Madrid Job, Plans Break Until 2026

According to The Telegraph, Juergen Klopp will not accept a coaching offer from Real Madrid anytime soon. The German coach has decided to take a break from football until the summer of 2026.

Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid is under serious threat following the team’s humiliating Champions League exit — Los Blancos lost 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal in the quarter-finals.

Ancelotti’s fate is expected to be decided after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this week. A defeat in the final may mark the end of his tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid’s management has begun preparing a list of potential replacements, with Juergen Klopp at the top. However, the former Liverpool manager has stated his intention to stay away from football for a while after seven demanding years with The Reds.
