Last week, when speculation escalated that Carlo Ancelotti would not be in charge of Real Madrid next season, was that former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund -Coach Jurgen Klopp was an option to take over. Despite the fact that she was strongly connected to Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, there are rumors that Klopp could be interested in the role.
Klopp resigned from management last year after leaving Liverpool and took over the global director of Red Bull Football Operations, a role in which he takes place today. There was also a suggestion that he was unhappy in his role and missed coaching. On Friday, however, Klopp's agent Marc Kosicke came out to close links to Real Madrid or Brazil.
However, the stories were not in a total vacuum. There is an important voice in the ear of the Real Madrid President Florentino Perez who is an important fan of Klopp, says Radiomarca. There is information that adviser and investment specialist Anas Laghrari has suggested Perez in recent weeks that he is considering Klopp for the role, which would count with previous results.
Klopp was close to taking over Real Madrid's work in 2015, but Perez eventually opted for Rafael Benitez and preferred a manager who was fluent Spanish fluently. However, it remains true that the club and Perez are convinced that Alonso Ancelotti must follow if he does indeed leave.
Laghrari is a central figure in important capital investments, and although he has no official role in Real Madrid, he has been involved in numerous deals with Los Blancos and Perez. He is one of the most important spirits behind the Superleague project and also played a role in Los Blancos that sells part of the rights to retail space in Santiago Bernabeu to Sixth Street. Last year Perez also announced a potential shift in the ownership model of Real Madrid where Laghrari is also supposed to be involved.
