  WHAT HAPPENED?

However, Klopp’s representative, Marc Kosicke, has labelled the story as entirely baseless.

  The report was apparently based on a misreading of a video shared by Roma’s media team, which was wrongly interpreted as a teaser for Klopp’s arrival. This miscommunication quickly spread across Italian media, leading many to believe that Roma were preparing a sensational managerial appointment. However, there appears to be no agreement or even negotiation between Klopp and the Serie A outfit.

• WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

  Telling Kosicke said: "Klopp coaching Roma? This news is not true."
