Klopp to the AS Roma: Rumors for changing coaches heat the league!

Rom, Italien - Current speculations about AS Roma could result in a change to the coaching bench. Reports of the Italian daily newspaper suggest that Jürgen Klopp, the former trainer of Liverpool, as the new head coach of Giallorossi. The headline "Roma, Habemus Mister" takes bonds on the famous election of a Pope and leaves space for interpretations about the negotiations between Klopp and the association.

Currently Claudio Ranieri is at the Roma coaching line, but will retire at the end of the season. An emerging rumor says that an agreement between AS Roma and Klopp has already been reached. However, this was described as "not true" by Klopp's consultant Mark Kosicke, and the Roma itself also denied this information. Despite this dementia, the rumor mill remains hot.

social media as the origin of speculation

Another factor that fueled speculation is a video that was published by the Roma owner group. In this clip, which shows Rome's famous sights, as the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica, the initial letters of the words shown in different languages ​​result in the word "Klopp". This led to speculation on social media, where users claimed to have seen Klopp, his agent and even his dog in Rome.

The constellation for Klopp's possible return to Serie A could take an exciting turn, especially since the rumor was released immediately after the last home game of the season, in which Ranieri was recognized. Despite the initial reports on an agreement, it became clear that the AS Roma "categorically denied" this message, which further complicates the situation.

A look at the coaching landscape

In the middle of this speculation, there are also changes in the coaching landscape in Serie A. AC Milan recently obliged Sergio Conceicao as a new trainer to replace Paulo Fonseca. Conceicao, who worked at FC Porto until last summer, signed a contract with the new club until summer 2026.

With his experience and success at Porto, Conceicao could represent interesting competition in the league coaching field. While the focus is currently on the change of staff at Roma, it remains to be seen whether Klopp actually returns to Serie A or whether the rumors turn out to be baseless.
