Jurgen Klopp's Agent Responds After Real Madrid Promise Made in Statement

Riquelme says former Real Madrid stars would fill key posts and that he could lure Jürgen Klopp, while promising Rodri and Erling Haaland signings.

  • On Sunday, Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme faces incumbent Florentino Pérez in an election, pledging to hire Jurgen Klopp as manager if victorious.
  • Seeking to unseat Pérez, 37-year-old renewable energy entrepreneur Riquelme launched his campaign last month, citing the club's need for new leadership after two seasons without major trophies.
  • To bolster his platform, Riquelme recruited club legends Raúl González Blanco, Fernando Hierro, Iker Casillas, and Vicente Del Bosque to fill senior roles, aiming to restore the club's identity.
  • Klopp's agent Marc Kosicke denied any option for the coach to become Madrid's next manager, stating "Jürgen Klopp is happy in his role at Red Bull and has no ambitions to work as a coach at a club."
  • Guaranteeing €150m for new stars, incumbent Florentino Pérez countered Riquelme's campaign by confirming Jose Mourinho as his choice for coach if re-elected this weekend.
