Reports: Jürgen Klopp on his way to coach Saudi club Al-Ittihad
According to recent reports coming from Arabic sources, renowned German coach Jürgen Klopp has reached an agreement with the Saudi powerhouse club Al-Ittihad. According to the Esteghlal fan channel, an authorized source confirmed that Klopp has given the "green light" to the offer submitted to him.
The main challenge in the transition stems from Klopp's contractual commitment to the Red Bull group, which is valid until October. According to Sport Baad News, the coach will not be able to take the reins immediately this coming summer. The emerging solution is for Klopp's professional staff to oversee the training camp in the summer, while the coach himself will accompany the team remotely for the first six rounds of the season.
While the Saudi club is examining the offer, factors in the international football market note that this is a significant development for the Saudi league. The reporting channels, which are focused on regional football news, present a uniform picture regarding the special schedule set due to Klopp's existing contract.
