Roma fans have been driven into a frenzy by Italian media reports that J\u00fcrgen Klopp has agreed to be the team coach from next season. However, the rumor of his imminent arrival stems from a social media post that some may be reading far too much into.<\/p>\n
Roma owner the Friedkin Group posted a video on Friday celebrating the capital club and its legacy. The video included images of iconic Rome sites: Colosseum (Kolosseum in German), Lupa Capitolina, Olimpico, (St.) Peter\u2019s and Pantheon in that order. Someone pointed out the starting letters of those words \u2014 some in Italian, some in German, some omitting part of the name \u2014 spell Klopp. And it spiralled from there.<\/p>\n
In the past two days, people on social media have been saying they have spotted former Liverpool coach Klopp, his agent and even his dog in Rome. Italian newspaper La Stampa proclaimed that Klopp accepted Roma\u2019s offer shortly after the Giallorossi\u2019s final home match of the season on Sunday, when a packed Stadio Olimpico paid tribute to current coach Claudio Ranieri, who is set to depart at the end of the season. Other media outlets picked up La Stampa\u2019s story, but the same newspaper said on Tuesday that Roma has \u201ccategorically denied\u201d the news.<\/p>\n
Klopp, who is Red Bull\u2019s head of global soccer, left Liverpool in 2024 after steering the team to seven major trophies over nearly nine years. The Friedkin Group also owns Liverpool’s city rival, Everton.<\/p>\n
