Trent Alexander-Arnold's preferred England manager Jurgen Klopp takes Germany job
Trent Alexander-Arnold's hopes of reuniting with former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on the international stage have been dashed after Klopp accepted the role of Germany national team manager. The Real Madrid defender, whose England career has stalled under current boss Thomas Tuchel, had previously expressed a desire to play under Klopp for England following Gareth Southgate's resignation after Euro 2024. Klopp, 59, returned to management for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2024. In his first press conference as Germany boss, Klopp issued an ultimatum to the media, threatening to quit if they do not leave his family alone. Alexander-Arnold, 27, spent his entire professional career at Liverpool under Klopp and had said they would 'pick up where we left off' if Klopp became England manager. The article also notes Alexander-Arnold missed out on England's World Cup squad.
