told Transfermarkt<\/a>: \u201cAt the moment I don\u2019t see that happening because he\u2019s very happy with his new role and in this environment.<\/p>\n\u201cMaybe at some point he\u2019ll say he needs to smell the locker room again. But at the moment he\u2019s very, very happy in his role. Before joining Red Bull, Jurgen could have coached the USA or England national teams. Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn\u2019t already been there.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven Chelsea and Manchester United inquired, although Jurgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England. These inquiries haven\u2019t stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cJurgen has undergone a metamorphosis, moving away from being a coach with a broad perspective towards more management responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have appointed new head coaches this season, with Liam Rosenior and Michael Carrick replacing Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim respectively in January.<\/p>\n
Kosicke also claimed that Klopp snubbed the advances of Bayern Munich after Liverpool\u2019s Champions League triumph in 2019. They were crowned Premier League champions the following season, as Bayern found success in Europe that year.<\/p>\n
\u201cBayern came very close to signing us twice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce in 2008. Uli Hoeness wanted Jurgen but Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wanted Jurgen Klinsmann.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd after Niko Kovac (who left Bayern in November 2019), when Jurgen was at Liverpool, they approached us again. Nobody thought things would be so successful with Hansi Flick. There just wasn\u2019t the right momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
