The agent of German coach Jürgen Klopp, Marc Kosicke, denied any truth to the rumors linking his client with a contract with the Spanish club Atlético Madrid, describing such news as "stupid speculation."

Koseki added in his statements to the site: "These are just silly rumors with no basis in truth," confirming that Klopp is currently focused on his work as the football director for the Red Bull group, which owns several clubs around the world.

These statements come after reports linked Klopp with a return to coaching, including major clubs like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. However, he remains committed to his current responsibilities in developing football projects for the Red Bull group.

In this role, Klopp oversees the strategy for club development, the technical selection of coaches and players, with a focus on building long-term projects.
