Amidst acclaim for him as a “living legend,” Sadio Mané has proposed to be Jürgen Klopp’s next manager after Liverpool.

After departing Anfield, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is anticipated to take a hiatus from the position. Sadio Mané, the former star of the Reds, offered a cheeky remark regarding a new duty.

When Liverpool began their historic Premier League title run, Sadio Mané knew without a doubt who was to blame. The Senegalese star, who had won the Champions League the previous year, was a potent goal scorer for Liverpool, combining with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to create a devastating onslaught.

Mané, however, asserted that Liverpool’s ascent to the top of the Premier League was mostly down to Jürgen Klopp. In November 2019, he stated in an interview with the team’s official monthly magazine: “Everyone can see what he has done for this club, for this city, and the quality he has as a manager.” He is the best manager in the world, in my opinion, even if there are many excellent ones.”

Mané and Klopp would win the Premier League title at the end of that campaign, and before the forward went for Bayern Munich in 2022, additional hardware would be awarded.

He currently plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, but he is getting ready for life after football as he approaches his 32nd birthday next month. Mané finished buying Bourges Foot 18 in the French fourth tier in October. In the hopes that his team can advance through the leagues, he is aiming high.

Furthermore, he hasn’t ruled out luring his erstwhile manager back into the fold after leaving Liverpool. Speaking to the French press through Foot Mercato, Mané declared: “He is a living legend, a great man who has done so much for Liverpool.” Perhaps he will visit us! He had a lasting impression on the world of football and greatly aided in my personal growth.

Mané’s lighthearted suggestion is hardly likely to make Klopp reevaluate his long-term goals. The Reds manager has stated that he will step away from management for at least a year after leaving Merseyside, while retirement is still an option.

In the unlikely event that the European Championships this summer go as planned, he has been connected to the German national team. After the competition, Julian Nagelsmann’s contract expires, and SportBILD revealed last month that Klopp is still the German FA’s “dream” replacement.

As a fan at the tournament, Klopp will be closely monitoring the performances of his own country. The Daily Mail adds that although TV networks BBC and ITV were eager to sign him, those efforts are probably doomed.

According to Liverpool.com; Mané is highly respected by his previous manager, who assisted in transforming him from a mediocre Premier League player into a global superstar. Although he is unlikely to convince Klopp to take over the French fourth division, he might yet consult the German. Nevertheless, whomever succeeds in hiring Klopp in the future will get one of the best ever.
