Liverpool fans fume at new Jurgen Klopp development – ‘Disgusting’
Jürgen Klopp is regarded as one of the greatest managers in Liverpool’s history.
The German took the Reds from mid-table mediocrity to Champions League and Premier League glory.
He decided to end his nine-year Anfield stay after the 2023/24 season and concluded it with an emotional farewell.
The 56-year-old is currently employed as the Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull but could return to management sooner than expected.
Klopp could be set for new job away from Liverpool
Klopp’s next career decision could tarnish his relationship with Reds supporters.
| Stats | Klopp |
| Won | 304 |
| Drawn | 100 |
| Lost | 85 |
| Trophies won | Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, Premier League, 2 x Carabao Cup, FA Cup |
He was recently linked with the Real Madrid job, but the latest development may be even more controversial.
A report from Italian outfit La Stampa (19 May) claimed that he has agreed to join AS Roma.
It states that the former Borussia Dortmund manager said yes to the role on Sunday (18 May) after a move to a different club fell through.
Liverpool fans furious with Klopp latest
The move is a contentious one because of what a minority of Roma fans did to Sean Cox before the 2017/18 Champions League semi final first leg on Merseyside.
Before the contest, a group of ultras beat the Reds fan, leaving him with life-changing injuries.
It is safe to say that fans of the L4 outfit would be rightfully furious if Klopp were to be appointed in the Italian capital, especially as he is aware of what happened to Cox, having met him in April 2024.
One fan even labelled the potential switch as worse than Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.
Not after what they did to Sean Cox

If true, when considering what happened to Sean cox, this is arguably worse than Trent leaving https://t.co/RAhqUxeQct

The club with the ultras that destroyed Sean cox’s life? Didn’t think klopp would associate with that

Is a fake news!

He lost his passion a year ago in the perfect situation at his favorite football club, now he suddenly has it back for the team whose fans ruined an LFC fan’s life…? Weird, man. Don’t like it.

Of course, Klopp deserves the benefit of the doubt, it is just a report for now with nothing confirmed and it may well prove to be nonsense.
Roma is exactly the kind of club that would fit Klopp, given its status as a fallen giant, having not won the Serie A title since the 2000/01 campaign.
The German loves an underdog story; however, if he did take the job, he would trash his Liverpool legacy forever and leave a sour taste in the mouth of many supporters.
