Jürgen Klopp, known for his successful tenure at Liverpool, where he won the Premier League, Champions League, and several other titles, is currently without a managerial position after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season.
The United States is preparing to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico, and they aim to make a significant impact on home soil. Bringing in a high-profile coach like Klopp is seen as a crucial step towards achieving that goal.
