Manuel Neuer has expressed his endorsement for the possibility of Jurgen Klopp taking on the managerial role at Bayern Munich following Klopp’s announcement of his departure from Liverpool.
Confirming his decision to step away from his duties at Liverpool at the end of the season, Klopp cited tiredness and fatigue as the primary reasons for his departure. Despite speculation surrounding Klopp’s next destination, he has declared that he will never manage another Premier League club and is planning a period of rest and recuperation starting from the summer.
During a recent visit to a fan club, Neuer was asked about the prospect of Klopp managing Bayern, to which he responded, “I think it depends on him. I don’t think FC Bayern has anything against that because he’s a renowned, very good, experienced, tactically astute coach who has gained significant respect from all footballers and athletes. I believe that he’s definitely a potential candidate who could work for Bayern at some point.”

Neuer acknowledged that the decision ultimately rests with Klopp and speculated on the various possibilities for the coach’s future, suggesting that Klopp might take a break first or even consider coaching the national team. Neuer emphasized the respect Klopp has earned throughout his career.
Klopp has previously disclosed turning down various approaches to manage Bayern, stating before Liverpool’s 2022 FA Cup final win over Chelsea, “I could have gone to Bayern a few times, I could have won more titles in my life, pretty sure I would say – I didn’t do it. I had a contract here, and I never went to Bayern. That’s completely fine.” Klopp also expressed contentment with his choices and emphasized the importance of trying and working together with others to achieve success.
