How did Jurgen Klopp get approached by U.S. Soccer?
Ornstein said the German was approached but quickly turned it down, but hopes he might change his mind after the summer. It is clear that the former Liverpool manager is the first choice for the U.S. national team. The best course of action for now is to respect his initial response and leave it at that for the rest of the summer. However, the group that approached him will not give up on the approach and Klopp will still remain one of the candidates. There is currently no further information on other candidates who could be Klopp's second choice. After the Copa America defeat, U.S. soccer fans are disappointed as they feel the team has enough talent to do better overall.
Jurgen Klopp officially stepped down as Liverpool manager in May, ending his tenure after making history with the Reds. They won their first Premier League title, despite never having won it since the English top division was renamed in the early '90s. Additionally, the Reds reached three UEFA Champions League finals, winning one of them. The two finals that Klopp lost were against Real Madrid. But whatever the outcome, Klopp proved time and time again why he is considered one of the best managers in football today. That's the main reason why US Soccer won't give up on signing him.
