Jurgen Klopp has announced that he’ll join Magenta TV as a pundit for the 2026 World Cup — but only after briefly sending supporters wild by teasing a “return to the touchline.”
The former Liverpool manager, who stepped away from coaching in 2024 and now serves as Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer, revealed the news in a light-hearted video on social media.
Klopp joked: “People have always claimed to know what I’d do next, but even I couldn’t picture this.
Returning to the dugout? I never felt I missed it — or so I thought. But now there’s that spark again.
“Feeling the grass, the stadium buzz… I want to be close to it once more.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
