Klopp apologized to Nagelsmann. I’m still “stupid” even though I’m 59 years old.

Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has directly apologized to Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann after the controversial statement he made while appearing as an analyst on German TV channel Magenta.

Fortunately, Julian is still (for now) picking the team, immediately repeating the word ‘for now’, sparking widespread criticism in Germany for his implicit interest in coaching the national team, while Klopp called himself a ‘stupid’ despite being 59 years old, insisting that I was so easy to say he was ‘totally clueless’.

According to the German “Magenta TV” program, Klopp’s statement caused an immediate reaction in the studio, where “Bavaria” legend and analyst Thomas Müller made a sarcastic comment. “Kloppo, we are in June… and you are already in September.” I won’t express it,” before a crushing 7-1 win over Curaçao helped calm things down.

Sorry

Klopp commented on the “Magenta” channel, saying: “I actually found the most hated word this year, (so far)… I almost punched myself in the face because of it, it came out so easily it’s completely irrelevant.”

“I realized I’m going to be 59 the day after tomorrow and I’m still an idiot,” he added, apologizing to Nagelsmann immediately after the game, saying, “We fully support you in whatever you do.”

The scandal comes after Klopp moved to become a sports analyst after stepping down from coaching as he has long been rumored to be a possible successor to the German national team coach, with his announcement interpreted as a hint at his ambitions to lead the German Football Association in the future, although Nagelsmann is currently in charge of the team at the 20th World Cup.
