Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is wanted to provide analysis of Euro 2024 by the UK’s top broadcasters – but the German is planning to attend the tournament as a fan

Jurgen Klopp is poised to reject offers from the BBC and ITV to work as a pundit in his native Germany during this summer’s European Championships.

The German, 56, will be unattached when Euro 2024 kicks off in June after he confirmed he will stand down from his role as Liverpool manager at the end of the season.

But while plenty of interest in his services has emerged already, Klopp has plans for a sabbatical.

It’s already been outlined that Klopp has no interest in taking on another managerial role and instead plans to roll his sleeves up on two renovating projects. The Anfield chief is expected to be presented with a different opportunity in the coming weeks, though.

According to a new report from The Mail, Klopp is being targeted by broadcasters ahead of Euro 2024. The BBC and ITV are expected to go head-to-head in a bid to land him for their analysis, however, Klopp is expected to turn down any work-related proposals for the tournament and is instead planning to attend as a fan.

It’s understood that he has tickets for Germany’s three group games against Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland and, as such, has chosen not to engage in talks with broadcasters.

Klopp has long maintained that he would embark on a year-long sabbatical when the time was right for him to leave Anfield. He will have been at the helm just shy of nine years when he walks away at the end of the season.

That hasn’t prevented speculation linking him with a host of jobs, including the German national team. Bayern Munich have also been linked after confirming plans to part with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.

While Klopp has been coy about his future plans, he has confirmed that he does not foresee himself managing any other team in England after writing his name into Anfield folklore.

When he was asked by reporters about a Premier League return shortly after announcing his exit, Klopp told reporters: “If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no.

“But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool.”
