Real have barely been knocked out of the top flight when there is already speculation about Ancelotti's successor. The name Klopp has also been mentioned. But what does his Red Bull team-mate Löw have to say?

RB Leipzig's interim coach Zsolt Löw does not believe Jürgen Klopp will return to coaching. "Jürgen made the conscious decision to be the global boss at Red Bull. He is very, very happy in his role. He gives incredible added value," said Löw ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga match (3.30pm/Sky) against newly promoted Holstein Kiel. "He's a people catcher, he can get everyone involved and has an important role in the global system."

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Real Madrid officials are flirting with Klopp as a possible successor to Carlo Ancelotti, who has come under criticism following his elimination from the Champions League.

The Italian himself does not know what his future with the Whites will look like. "Maybe the club will decide to change coach, maybe this year - or next year when my contract expires, it doesn't matter," said Ancelotti, whose contract runs until the summer of 2026. After returning to Real in 2021, he won the premier class twice and the Spanish championship. Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso is also being touted as a possible successor.

Klopp still "with us for many years"

Löw, who actually works as "Head of Soccer Development" in the Klopp team at Red Bull and will also take on this position again after the Saxons' tour of Brazil, sees no change in Klopp's fundamental positioning: "When Jürgen has done something, he has always done it one hundred percent. No matter at which station, always to the end and with a clean finish. His story at Red Bull has just begun. He will be with us for many years to come."

Klopp himself still has a contract with Red Bull until 2029 and ruled out a return to coaching in March: "I'm a very, very happy person at the moment. Being a coach again is the last thing on my mind."
