Jurgen Klopp has announced that he\u2019ll join Magenta TV as a pundit for the 2026 World Cup \u2014 but only after briefly sending supporters wild by teasing a \u201creturn to the touchline.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former Liverpool manager, who stepped away from coaching in 2024 and now serves as Red Bull\u2019s Head of Global Soccer, revealed the news in a light-hearted video on social media.<\/p>\n
Klopp joked: \u201cPeople have always claimed to know what I\u2019d do next, but even I couldn\u2019t picture this.
\nReturning to the dugout? I never felt I missed it \u2014 or so I thought. But now there\u2019s that spark again.<\/p>\n
\u201cFeeling the grass, the stadium buzz\u2026 I want to be close to it once more.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut not as a manager \u2014 I\u2019ll be working as a pundit for Magenta TV at the 2026 World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old will provide analysis on Germany\u2019s journey across the tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico, marking his first TV role since walking away from management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
