He lifted Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool from the brink of collapse, made them win trophies again - now it seems he's decided to do the same in Rome.
A bombshell arrives from Italy - Jurgen Klopp will be the new coach of Roma, writes "La Stampa".
"Roma, habemus mister," wrote the Turin newspaper, playing on the words with the famous and current "Habemus papa" (We have a pope).
"Yellow-red smoke. On Sunday, May 18, at 22:57 p.m., Klopp said 'yes' to Roma, led by president Dan Fridkin," adds "La Stampa."
At the same time, Klopp's agent Mark Kosicke briefly stated that the current allegations from Italy are not true.
Whether it's all true or not will be known after the last round of Serie A and the official departure of the great Claudio Ranieri to the club's management. In any case, if it is known that Klopp always chose clubs that were not at the top and where money was not crucial, then this story makes sense.
"La Stampa" adds that reinforcements will arrive with the German legend, at least six of them, and mentions striker Lorenzo Luca from Udinese, Marco Palestra from Atalanta...
"Olimpico" held a spectacular farewell for Ranieri over the weekend - will they soon have a spectacular welcome for the new big name on the bench?
Klopp was twice German champion with Borussia, while leading Liverpool to their first title in England in 30 years, their sixth Champions League trophy...
