Klopp as the new coach? “I don’t think FC Bayern has anything against it”

“I think it depends on him. I don’t think FC Bayern has anything against it,” said the 37-year-old goalkeeper at a fan club meeting, according to the “Bild” newspaper. Klopp is a “renowned, very good, experienced, tactically astute coach who wins great respect from all footballers and athletes,” said Neuer.

Klopp announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season last week. However, the 56-year-old had already stated some time ago that he wanted to take a break after saying goodbye to Liverpool. He had recently been repeatedly mentioned as team boss in Germany and at other top European clubs. “I think he is definitely a potential candidate who could work for Bayern Munich later,” said Neuer about the former Bundesliga coach.

Thomas Tuchel has a contract with Munich until June 30, 2025. Under the 50-year-old, Bayern are currently only second in the league and were eliminated from the cup early on; There is also always criticism of the style of play. From Neuer’s point of view, whether Klopp could be an option for the record champions in the future depends primarily on his plans. “Whether he wants to do that is, of course, up to him. Or whether he says he wants to take a break first. Maybe no longer the day-to-day business – I can also imagine him possibly being a national coach one day. It depends primarily, of course from himself.”
