Jurgen Klopp headhunted for first job after Liverpool this summer

Jurgen Klopp could walk into his first job after Liverpool as soon as this summer. The German is being headhunted.

The Daily Mail reports that both the BBC and ITV are desperately battling to hire Jurgen Klopp for punditry this summer. The two broadcasters will show Euro 2024 and each hope to convince Klopp to work for them on punditry duty.

It's a role Klopp has done previously. In fact, his management career has a lot to owe to punditry as it was his work during the 2006 World Cup on German TV that significantly boosted his reputation.

Klopp actually won an award for his efforts - and did so again after the 2010 World Cup. He's incredibly good at it and now that he's one of the biggest names in football, broadcasters are desperate to get him.

The BBC are said to be pushing more aggressively but both will apparently fail to get him. The tournament itself stands in their way as Klopp has tickets to all three of Germany's group-stage games.

He wants to go and watch the tournament as a fan, given it's taking place in his homeland. There's also a very good chance, if reports are to be believed, that this will be his last chance to watch Germany as a fan for a while.

Jurgen Klopp and Euro 2024

Klopp is the huge favourite to take over the Germany team after this tournament. Julian Nagelsmann is linked with jobs elsewhere, while a poor performance would almost certainly see him kicked out.

There's even talk of Germany appointing Sandro Wagner as an interim boss ahead of Klopp being available next year. He can't take any managerial jobs before next summer, after all, after Liverpool agreed to let him out of his contract a year early.

And if that is the plan, there's no way Klopp isn't going to be in the stands watching Germany this summer.
