4 razones por las que Jürgen Klopp NO debería aceptar el puesto de entrenador del Real Madrid
ES 
EN Real Madrid lost to Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season. Embarrassing part of it? The manner they lost 5-1 over a two-legged fixture. Carlo Ancelotti himself agreed that Arsenal was the better side, and his position at the Spanish capital was under threat. Talking to the press after the match,
Ancelotti said, “It could be this year, next year when my contract runs out…There’s no problem with it. But when I am done here, I will be grateful to this club. It could be tomorrow, in one year, or in 10 years, but I will be grateful to this club. And that’s it.”
A dramatic answer, filled with mystery, yet the chances of losing the job are more certain than ever. Now, with the prime position once again available, reports started floating for the new manager. Jürgen Klopp’s name was pushed in unison, claiming that he is unhappy with his current role at Red Bull as the Global Head of Soccer. Though Klopp’s decision and eventual appointment (if rumours are true) will take some time, we will focus on why the former Liverpool manager should not take the position.
Why Jurgen Klopp Should Not Take Real Madrid Managerial Role
When Real Madrid approaches you with a proposal, you say yes. That was the consensus. Its rich history, impressive trophy collection, and the allure of playing for a club with global brand recognition, and not to forget financial power, attract many football greats.
For any manager, it could be a dreamland, picking up players from the best of the best talent available around the world. But should Jurgen Klopp fall for this? Here are reasons why Jürgen Klopp should reject Real Madrid.
- Liverpool vs Real Madrid rivalry: Football is not only a sport, it’s emotion. The reason why it’s a global sport and has the highest number of followers is its appeal to fans. Real Madrid, though, has a huge fan following there is massive hate for the club also. The reason why the Spanish giants are loved by their fans is the exact reason many hate them. It ranks second in the list released by Marca. Klopp’s former club, Liverpool, fans also take a larger portion of haters, ranked fourth in their rivalries.
In recent years, especially, the 2018 Champions League final (where Salah was injured) and Los Blancos’ dominance in UEFA fixtures angered the Liverpool fanbase. Considering Klopp’s close ties with the Reds’ loyal base, he should not take the hot seat in the Real Madrid dugout.

- Management issues: Klopp’s transfer policies vs Real Madrid’s transfer policies. Just those words are sufficient to highlight the poles apart strategies. Klopp believes in developing players, while Real Madrid is known for their Galactico eras. Florentino Perez, known for his shrewd and direct transfer policies, might have brought them success in recent years. But Klopp has to decide whether he should fall the same?
- Player management: Yes, having a locker room filled with superstars sounds intriguing, but it is, at the same time most difficult task for any manager. To handle star power with a massive potential ceiling within the dugout is daunting work, and if we go through Klopp’s previous teams, he has always found comfort with players looking to make a name for themselves and potential to grow. Madrid crop could be suffocating for him.
- Fans and media pressure: And then there is ‘Real’ pressure. Klopp won nine titles in seven years, while at BVB, he won six titles in seven seasons. Will he get this liberty at Real Madrid? Loo at Ancelotti’s situation alone. The Italian won a treble with the team a season ago and is now on the verge of getting sacked – if the reports are to be believed. Klopp’s ‘seven-year formula’ would be a massive ‘no-no’ for Real Madrid. The fanbase and even the media demand a title every season and a Champions League trophy – maybe 3 in every five years.
What do you feel? Should Klopp take over Real Madrid’s managerial post? Or continue developing the football via his current role at RB?
