Jürgen Klopp is on the radar of Al-Ittihad following the departure of Laurent Blanc.
The Saudi sports newspaper revealed that the German coach Jürgen Klopp has become the top choice for Al-Ittihad management to lead the team in the upcoming phase, after the announcement of the French coach Laurent Blanc’s departure from his position.
