Jurgen Klopp surprised everyone by announcing his exit from Liverpool in the summer and Roma have reportedly started to dream about his possible arrival in the Italian capital.
The 56-year-old German coach unexpectedly told the club’s media department on Friday that he’d be resigning at the end of the season, having ‘run out of energy’ after over eight years in the role. His announcement sent shockwaves across the Reds fanbase, leaving many in disbelief.
Roma are in a state of flux themselves; Jose Mourinho was dismissed earlier this month after over two years in the dugout and has been replaced by Daniele De Rossi, who could leave the role in the summer unless he really impresses in the second half of this season.
As reported by Il Messaggero via TMW, Roma owners the Fredkin family have started to think about the possible appointment of Klopp in the summer, aware that he won’t come cheap and that clubs across Europe will want to snap up the German tactician.
Due to the chaotic nature of coaching in the Italian capital, it’ll likely take a lot of convincing to bring Klopp to the Giallorossi, especially considering that he’s leaving Liverpool due to a lack of energy.
