German coach Jürgen Klopp, 58, confirmed that he is completely happy in his current situation with his team and denied any desire to move to Real Madrid, emphasizing that all the news about the Spanish club’s interest in him is nothing more than “media speculation.”
Klopp stated firmly: “I am completely happy with my current situation. I don’t want to be anywhere else,” adding that he is not currently planning a return to coaching, although he did not completely rule out the possibility in the future.

Klopp also addressed the recent events at Real Madrid, with the dismissal of Xabi Alonso and the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa as interim coach, saying: “When I heard the news of the dismissal, I had a mix of emotions… I was surprised and not surprised at the same time. And when I saw Arbeloa’s appointment, I said to myself: What? Then I said: Well, that’s right.”
The German coach added his advice to clubs considering a managerial change: “When sacking a manager, they must have a clear and realistic idea of who will replace him. If they are thinking of hiring Pep Guardiola, I would say their chances are very slim.”
Meanwhile, Álvaro Arbeloa celebrated his first victory with Real Madrid, amid the support of the Bernabéu crowd, after successfully leading the team and achieving positive results in his first test as interim manager.
