Klopp's agent rejects Riquelme's coaching claim
Klopp's agent says Enrique Riquelme's claim that the German manager would become Real Madrid head coach is false. He described the suggestion as annoying.
Riquelme announced he would contact Jürgen Klopp to discuss the Los Blancos job if he defeats Florentino Pérez in the presidential race. The statement linked the coaching prospect to the outcome of the club's leadership contest.
Florentino Pérez currently holds the presidency of Real Madrid. Riquelme is positioning himself as a challenger in the upcoming election.
Jürgen Klopp, the German manager, would be appointed as Los Blancos head coach under Riquelme's scenario. The claim adds a speculative element to the presidential contest.
The election outcome will determine if Riquelme can approach Klopp about the coaching role. Both candidates continue campaigning for club members' support.
