Jurgen Klopp admits he misses nothing about former life as Liverpool manager as he’s linked with replacing Man Utd icon

JURGEN KLOPP has revealed that he does not miss life at Anfield since moving away from football management.

The German spent nine years at the helm of Liverpool before stepping down in 2024.

Despite speculation of him going straight back into management elsewhere, the 58-year-old has stayed away from the dugout since the shock departure.

He was appointed global head of football for Red Bull last year, overseeing projects at their clubs including RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.

And in an interview with The Athletic, Klopp has doubled down on the decision to make the switch, saying he does not miss coaching at Liverpool and is now enjoying ‘normal’ life with family.

When asked if he had been intensely following the Reds after leaving, he said: “Not at all.”

“I was super happy with the way Liverpool performed,” he continued. “I watched some games. But it is not like, ‘Oh, it’s Saturday!’

“I didn’t know when games started. I was just out. I played sports, we enjoyed life, spent time with the grandkids, completely normal stuff, knowing I will work again.

“But knowing as well, that I don’t want to work as a coach anymore.”

The interview quietened rumours that Klopp was first in line to take up a newly available role in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Ittihad boss and former Manchester United man Laurent Blanc was relieved of his duties on Saturday, despite losing just one of their four league games this season.

The open, and potentially very lucrative, spot in the Jeddah-based club’s dugout was heavily linked to the German.

His comments have likely killed any hopes of that appointment taking place for now, but Klopp did not rule out a change of heart in the future.

He said of staying away from coaching: “That’s what I think, but you don’t know. I’m 58. If I started again at 65, everybody will say, ‘You said you’ll never do it again!’

“‘Sorry, I thought 100 per cent when I said it.’ That is what I think now. I don’t miss anything.”

His move away from the North West has not slowed Liverpool down at all, having clinched last season’s Premier League title under replacement boss Arne Slot.

They are now on track to challenge for the silverware again, currently sitting two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table.

Spain to be hit with MORE ‘extreme rain’ as orange alert issued for Brit holiday islands after horror storm deluge

SODDEN Spain is due to be drenched with even more rain after a colossal storm surge and “extreme danger” red warnings left areas underwater.

A “major danger” orange warning still looms over Brit holiday island Ibiza, with Mallorca and parts of the east mainland coast under yellow alerts.

Eastern parts of Spain – including Catalonia and cities down the coast – received a huge dump of rain yesterday and overnight during wild storms.

Red alerts – the highest level of danger – were activated for Tarragona, Castellón and Valencia on Monday, with schools and parks remaining closed today.

Record rainfall was recorded in Valencia, where winds also whipped at more than 60mph.

Dramatic footage shows rivers cascading down city stairways, cars being swept along by powerful currents and foaming whirlpools engulfing streets.

Over in the Balearics, emergency services were alerted to 61 different incidents – most of them on Ibiza.

Roads on the islands have been closed off and a school in party town San Antonio had to be evacuated.

Basements and garages were reported to have completely flooded and some roads leading to the main airport were shut.

Streets were turned into rivers by flooding, which uprooted trees and damaged cars.

Footage from Sueca shows standing water submerging the town after the rain has subsided.

A clip from the south-eastern Murcia shows a pedestrian being swept down the road by gushing brown water.

Up in southern Catalonia, they recorded the highest rainfall in 30 years – and there was also a significant spike in lightning activity.

Rubén del Campo, a spokesperson for Spain‘s meteorological agency Aemet, said the storm “will continue in the coming hours”, but emphasized it should “diminish”.

The latest warnings from the meteorological group say the orange warning for Ibiza will be in place until 4pm today, while the yellow warning will be lifted from Valencia at noon.

For Ibiza, the agency warned: “Significant danger, be cautious!”

Last year, some 230 people were killed in floods in Valencia – so the authorities are anxious to keep people safe.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez yesterday urged locals to follow guidance issued by emergency services.

Valencia locals received a notification on their phones stressing the need to avoid travel and avoid road closures.

Residents were also instructed to seek higher ground in order to avoid the floods.

On Monday, shocking videos showed drivers trapped in their vehicles in the middle of raging torrents.

Putin orders biggest army call up in 10 years with 135k new troops as fears grow warmongering Russia could attack Europe

VLADIMIR Putin has ordered his biggest autumn military draft in nearly a decade – as fears mount that warmongering Russia could attack Europe.

The Kremlin tyrant has called up 135,000 men as his forces bleed manpower along a 620-mile front in Ukraine.

The decree, issued on Monday, summons men aged 18-30 for “routine service” from October to December.

It is the largest autumn call-up since 2016 and part of a relentless push to swell Russia’s army to 1.5million troops.

The Kremlin insists these are not combat mobilisations. Moscow’s generals claim conscripts won’t be sent to Ukraine — a pledge they have broken before.

Analysts warn that even if fresh recruits are not deployed straight away, completing training makes them far more likely to end up on the battlefield later.

The scale of the draft betrays Russia’s crisis.

Western defence estimates revealed more than one million Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the invasion began in 2022, The Telegraph reported.

Despite this bloodletting, Putin has steadily increased annual conscription by about five per cent and pumped military spending to Soviet-era highs.

On Kremlin channels, Putin tried to project strength.

“Our fighters and commanders go on the attack, and the entire country… is waging this righteous battle,” he boasted.

“Together we are defending our love for the Motherland… we are fighting and we are prevailing.”

But his need for such a massive call-up tells a different story – a grinding war with no quick victory in sight.

Ukraine pushes back

While Russia trumpets the capture to two small settlements in Donetsk, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Kyiv’s counter-offensive near Dobropillia is making “strong progress”.

Ukraine is also urging allies to build a “joint, fully reliable shield against Russian aerial threats” after Russian drones violated Polish airspace and even shut down Copenhagen airport for two hours.

In Washington, Donald Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg signalled a potential policy shift.

Suggesting the US may soon allow Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia with American weapons, he said: “Use the ability to hit deep. There are no such things as sanctuaries.”

Vice-President JD Vance confirmed long-range Tomahawk missiles are under review.

The Kremlin brushed off the threat, with mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov saying: “Whether it’s Tomahawks or other missiles, they won’t be able to change the dynamic.”

But from Liverpool, UK Defence Secretary John Healey issued a direct challenge.

He said: “President Putin, you will not win. Stop the killing, start the talks, agree to a peace.

“We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.”

Putin's hybrid war on Europe

VLADIMIR Putin isn’t just fighting in Ukraine — he’s waging a shadow war across Europe.

The Kremlin is testing NATO’s resolve with drone incursions, airspace violations and cyberattacks, while pumping propaganda to fracture Western unity.

This month alone, Russian drones buzzed Danish and Norwegian military bases, breached Polish skies in “choreographed” swarms, and fighter jets trespassed into Estonian airspace.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns Moscow is “checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies” — a dry run for wider aggression.

Hybrid warfare is Putin’s playbook: mix military threats, covert sabotage, disinformation and energy blackmail to intimidate neighbours without triggering all-out war.

Western officials fear these tactics could pave the way for a strike beyond Ukraine if Europe looks weak or divided.

Analysts say the Kremlin wants to destabilise NATO’s eastern flank, sap European support for Kyiv and force the West into concessions.

With Russia’s army expanding to 1.5 million troops and its drones ranging deep into allied airspace, Europe is on high alert.

Growing fears of Russia attack

Zelensky has warned that Putin may not stop at Ukraine.

Speaking in Kyiv after meeting Donald Trump at the UN, he said: “Putin will not wait to finish his war in Ukraine.

“He will open up some other direction. Nobody knows where. He wants that.”

Zelensky accused the Kremlin of deliberately probing Europe’s defences with a wave of drone incursions, The Guardian reported.

Russian drones have been spotted over Denmark, Poland and Romania, while fighter jets recently violated Estonian airspace.

“The Kremlin is checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies,” Zelensky said, warning that EU governments appear unprepared for this new, fast-moving threat.

Earlier this month, Ukraine tracked 92 drones heading toward Poland in what officials described as a “choreographed” attack.

Most were intercepted, but 19 crossed into Polish territory and four were shot down.

Drones were also seen above a Danish military base and a Norwegian base over the weekend.

Zelensky said some countries will soon send representatives to Ukraine for “practical training” in how to repel Russian aerial attacks, offering Kyiv’s hard-won expertise to help Europe defend itself.

Western security analysts say these incursions are a worrying signal that Moscow could expand the conflict to destabilise Nato’s eastern flank.

Combined with Putin’s massive new draft and his drive to boost the army to 1.5 million troops, it’s fuelling fears the Kremlin is preparing for a wider war.

Despite Kremlin claims of a “righteous battle,” this conscription wave exposes Putin’s dilemma.

His army is bleeding, his generals need bodies, and yet the war he started shows no sign of ending.

M61 closed next to two major motorways after horror crash as drivers warned of long delays

DRIVERS are facing massive rush hour delays on a major UK motorway following a serious collision.

The M61 in Greater Manchester is closed southbound between the M6 J30 and J9 (M65).

Emergency services scrambled to respond to the scene of the horror smash earlier today.

Police, ambulance and fire crews are in attendance, according to National Highways.

It remains unclear if there were any serious injuries in the collision.

Drivers have been warned to expect long delays in the wake of the crash.

Traffic is currently being managed at the scene by National Highways contractors.

Road users travelling southbound have been advised to follow the Solid Circle diversion symbol on road signs.

National Highways said: “If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time.

“Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey.”
