From Anfield to Rome: Klopp is about to take charge of the Red Wolf Army

According to multiple Italian media reports and retweeted by Optus Sport, Jurgen Klopp will officially take over as Rome's head coach after the end of this season. Italian media La Stampa further revealed that the former Liverpool coach has reached an agreement with Friedkin Group, which is also the owner of Everton.

In recent years, Roma's Serie A powerhouse, which once had legendary players such as Totti and De Rossi, has performed ups and downs. The season's poor performance started, resulting in the club's dismissal of then-head coach Ivan Yulic after coaching only 12 games in November. Then, Claudio Ranieri took over, which was his third time as the Red Wolf Legion coach.

This meritorious coach who once led Leicester City to miraculously win the Premier League championship was also impressive: he coached only 7 games in 35 games, and he remained unbeaten in the Serie A League. Although they were unable to lead the team into the Champions League in the end, they were only one point away from the Champions League qualification before the UEFA League finals. Ranieli ended his final victory over AC Milan at the Olympic Stadium with a 3-1 victory over AC Milan, and he also won the respect of standing ovation from all the fans.

It is reported that if Klopp officially takes over the position of Rome coach, Ranieri may still remain in the club as an adviser or other important role. His many coaching experiences in Rome have already won him the status of "legacy".

According to the Newspaper (a sister publication of La Stampa), the club had actually decided to hire Klopp long ago, but the German coach did not formally nod his approval until this weekend. If it is finally announced, he will become another world-class coach after Mourinho and Luis Enrique to try to help Roma regain the Serie A championship - and this task has not been completed so far.

As the season is approaching its end, Rome is about to usher in a new chapter. And for world football, this may also be one of the most eye-catching coaching changes this summer.
