# Newcastle: Jurgen Klopp backed to become Magpies manager

**Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could consider eventually taking the [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) job one day, according to a claim from transfer expert Dean Jones.**

### The Lowdown: Klopp working wonders at Liverpool

The German has become a legendary figure at Anfield since taking charge in October 2015, inspiring them to both [Champions League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jurgen-klopp/erfolge/trainer/118) and [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) glory, among [numerous other trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jurgen-klopp/erfolge/trainer/118).

Klopp has twice been named the [world’s best coach](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jurgen-klopp/erfolge/trainer/118), and while Liverpool have dipped below their usual standards so far this season, his standing remains powerful.

An intriguing claim has emerged regarding the 55-year-old’s future, which is where Newcastle come into play amid recent reports that the German is “[obsessed](https://www.footballinsider247.com/jurgen-klopp-obsessed-by-newcastle-united-liverpool/)” about the Magpies.

### The Latest: Jones drops Newcastle claim

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88090086-liverpool-klopp-manager-rumour), Jones claimed that Klopp could potentially eye up the St James’ Park job one day, even though it is still unlikely.

He said:

> “Yeah, possibly. I mean, it might be a good moment in Klopp’s career for that change to come around. I’m not totally convinced that Klopp is obsessed by Newcastle in this moment.
>
> “But of course, as a manager of a top flight team, you’re going to be intrigued by what’s going on because they’re threatening your own side’s position in the league and you probably feel a little bit vulnerable.
>
> “But we should also consider Jurgen Klopp is probably going to fancy the Germany job at some point. I know it kind of gets played down sometimes but I’m sure that will be the next job that is also posted in his direction.”

### The Verdict: Feels unlikely

The job that Eddie Howe is doing at Newcastle means that there certainly shouldn’t be any talk of a new manager at the moment, with the Englishman working wonders at St James’ Park.

That being said, even a mention of Klopp becoming their manager one day is undoubtedly exciting, considering his brilliance at Liverpool and the aura that he possesses.

Nonetheless, it feels likely that he will remain at Anfield for some time yet and then possibly take a break – as Jones says, the Germany job shouldn’t be ruled out – so it would be a surprise if he headed to Newcastle any time soon.
