Massive Jurgen Klopp reunion could give big hint about next job after Liverpool

Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has enjoyed his time since leaving Anfield so far. Whether he has been playing padel, watching the Champions League final at Wembley, or becoming a Taylor Swift fan, the German has made the most of his break.

But Klopp was clear when he left Liverpool that he wasn't retiring. He would take a break for at least a year, he insisted, but this was not the end of his working life. At 57, he wanted a rest having almost exclusively been in a job since he stopped playing, but that rest might not be indefinite.

The obvious move would be to take over from Julian Nagelsmann as the German national team boss. Nagelsmann is likely to want a return to the club game sooner rather than later and Klopp would be the German FA's undisputed number one choice.

But Klopp was also linked with potentially becoming head of football for Borussia Dortmund, his former club, once his break from the game is concluded. The Independent reported earlier in the year that there was increasing talk of that becoming a realistic possibility in 2025.

Rather than taking on a new role elsewhere as a head coach, something like that could be a new way of influencing things for Klopp, who has always been an excellent delegator of tasks. Working in Germany with Dortmund again could hold a big appeal.

And amid something of a reunion of his former players at Dortmund, it could be even more intriguing. Next season, former Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin, whose best playing days came with the Bundesliga side, will take over as head coach. Another Klopp favorite, Lukasz Piszczek, will be his assistant, while Sebastien Kehl remains the sporting director.

To add further to the list, Klopp's former goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller is a club representative and all of those ex-players were part of the 2010/11 side that won the league title.

If Klopp is to make a return to soccer in a slightly different and more overarching role than a manager, helping oversee the development of the group that he has already led to major success could have significant appeal. Amid a massive reunion taking place in Dortmund, adding Klopp into the mix only makes even more sense than it already did.

Liverpool.com says: If Klopp is to return to soccer, it would be odd to see him with a new club. He could get almost any job that he wanted but how many would hold a substantial appeal? Going back to Dortmund would seem to make a lot of sense.
