      JURGEN KLOPP is reportedly “ready” to take over at Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti expected to leave the Bernabeu before the end of the season.Klopp is allegedly “unhappy” in his new job at Red Bull after quitting the Liverpool dugout after nine years at the end of last season.Jurgen Klopp has been for a return to managementReal Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti reportedly won’t see out the season and will leave the club after the Copa del Rey final on April 26Credit: GettyKlopp was appointed as Red Bull’s new Global Head of Football just a few months after walking away from Anfield last May.But less than a year into his new role, Klopp is open to talking to Madrid, with the intention of starting coaching as early as July, according to Spanish outlet UOL Esporte.And the legendary Premier League gaffer could be in luck, with Ancelotti about to part ways with Madrid for the second time.According to Sky Sports, the Italian boss is set to walk away from Los Blancos after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26 – with five games in LaLiga remaining.

That could be tomorrow, 10 days, one month or in one year, but if my contract ends or doesn’t end, I really don’t care.”We have managed the bright side many times and we have won titles, but we need to manage the dark side too.Most read in FootballArsenal beat Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate on WednesdayNext Real Madrid manager oddsOdds from BetfairXabi Alonso 4/9Andoni Iraola 5/1Jurgen Klopp 11/2Zinedine Zidane 9/1Jose Mourinho 12/1Herrero Michel 18/1Raul 20/1Massimilliano Allegri 20/1Unai Emery 25/1Alvaro Arbeloa 25/1Antonio Conte 33/1Mikel Arteta 33/1Erik ten Hag 80/1CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”We need to accept it because over the two games, Arsenal have been better than us.”Real and Barca are fighting it out for the domestic double, with Ancelotti’s side sitting four points behind their rivals in LaLiga, with seven games to play.Liverpool sent a private jet to sign me and Klopp called me a mix of Fabregas and Gundogan – but I turned him down The pair meet in El Clasico on May 11, but the Italian – who has already been hammered twice by Hansi Flick this season – is not expected to be in charge for the game at the Nou Camp.Ancelotti rejoined Real in the summer of 2021 and has won 11 trophies in his second stint in charge, including two LaLiga titles, two Champions Leagues and the Club World Cup.The prospect of Klopp taking over has excited officials at the Bernabeu.Club president Florentino Perez will allegedly go “all out” for a charismatic coach.The German coach was allegedly considered as a potential managerial candidate a few years ago but Perez did not approve at the time.Should he join Madrid, he will likely be reunited with Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who reportedly agreed personal terms with the Spanish giants last month.The former Borussia Dortmund boss does have a special clause that could see him cut short his contract and return to coaching.Should he be approached by the German national team, Klopp will be allowed to quit his job at Red Bull immediately.Read More on The SunDuring his time with Liverpool, Klopp managed almost 500 games and won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.Ancelotti’s future has been the subject with speculation for some time, with the former Everton boss also linked with becoming Brazil manager.

      RED BULL RACING staff reportedly “tense up” when chiefs Christian Horner or Helmut Marko walk into the room, according to an F1 insider.The Milton-Keynes-based team have been struggling with internal issues since the start of 2024, which has coincided with a performance drop off on the track.A Red Bull insider has opened up about tensions in the teamCredit: GettyJournalist Nate Saunders says people stiffen when Horner or Marko walk into the hospitality.Credit: GettyThere is said to be a ‘weird vibe’ at the teamCredit: GettySeveral high profile names, including famed F1 engineer Adrian Newey, have left Red Bull over the last year.Meanwhile, the RB21 has clearly regressed from last season and has gone from the creme de la creme to arguably the fourth fastest car behind McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes.Meanwhile, Max Verstappen’s up and down relationship with team principal Horner has been widely speculated on, with many suggesting the four-time world champion could take up a new challenge elsewhere.There has been noticeable friction in the current setup, with the problems possibly affecting performance on the track.READ MORE F1 NEWSSpeaking via ESPN’s Unlapped podcast, journalist Nate Saunders says people stiffen up when Horner or Marko walk into the hospitality. He said: “I mean, I’ve been in the Red Bull hospitality and it can be weird.”And I think Laurence will attest to this as well, there’s just a weird vibe down there.”Especially when Jos Verstappen’s in town as well, because you have all of these big figures down at Red Bull and you can tell they’re just kind of side-eyeing each other.Most read in MotorsportCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSMax Verstappen is struggling to compete this seasonCredit: GettyHe could only finish sixth at the Bahrain Grand Prix on SundayCredit: Getty“Marko will walk in or Horner will walk in and you can see people tense up a little bit.

      Josh Warrington reveals row with his own team over boxing retirement before making U-turn… and calls out three rivals

      by

      JOSH WARRINGTON was in a row with his own team over retiring from boxing – and thankfully made a U-turn before it was too late. The two-time featherweight world champion appeared to call it quits for his career after defeat to Anthony Cacace in September at Wembley.Josh Warrington snubbed retirement to make a boxing comebackCredit: GettyWarrington laid his gloves on the canvas – the universal boxing signal that a fighter is retiring. However, no confirmation followed – much to Warrington’s own frustration.But after being convinced to allow some time before confirming his decision – Warrington rediscovered his passion for the sport.He told Ring Magazine: “I wanted to put something out about retirement. READ MORE IN BOXING“I actually had a bit of an argument with my media manager, James Marshall, because I just wanted to get it out, anything out, a video or a statement of something.“But he said just to relax and to think about it. Listen, I had like two weeks of moping about, feeling sorry for myself and so I needed to let out some frustration. “I went back to the gym and felt like everything was still there; the fitness, the timing, the sharpness, a little bit of sparring, a little bit of pads.“I thought to myself ‘f***king hell! There’s loads left here’. Why didn’t it happen on the night against Cacace?

Caoimhin Agyarko fills in on late notice to fight on Dalton Smith undercard Their rematch then ended in a draw after a clash of heads before Warrington beat Kiko Martinez to regain the title in 2022. But Warrington is without victory in his last three – losing to Luis Alberto Lopez, Leigh Wood and Cacace.The Leeds super-fan now returns on Saturday in Sheffield against Asad Asif Khan – but has bigger names in his sights.The 34-year-old said: “First of all, I just want to return, get the arm raised and dust some cobwebs off. “Then I want to be busy – I’d like to think I could get another two fights this year. There’s no reason why not. “I know I haven’t got a belt at the moment but I’ve got a big fanbase behind me and, nine times out of ten, I’m in an entertaining fight – although it was a little bit of a stinker at Wembley.“But I’m a two-time world champion with a great resume so I don’t see why I can’t walk into some big fights or at least keep active and busy.“I’d love to put the Leigh Wood one to bed and then to get the Cacace one after that would be even better. “I’m disappointed that we could never get the Wood rematch over the line in the first place.Read More on The Sun“Mick Conlan is another one where our names have always been mentioned over the years but just hasn’t come to light. “But most definitely – he has been in some entertaining fight and people just want to be entertained don’t they?”Warrington laid down his gloves after defeat to Anthony CacaceCredit: Getty More

      Sam Eggington packs in 9-5 house cleaning job after SIX DAYS to make boxing U-turn for Lee Cutler fight

      by

      SAM EGGINGTON threw in the towel on his 9-5 job cleaning houses after just SIX DAYS – so he could make a tidy boxing return.Eggington – who has treated fans to some of Britain’s bravest bouts – left his career in doubt after defeat to Abass Baraou in March 2023.Sam Eggington quit his house cleaning job to return to boxingCredit: @eggington_samBut he returned with a comeback victory against Alan Sebastian Velazquez in November to get back to winning ways. It also brought an end to Eggington’s brief, week-long job clearing out houses with his brother. Eggington, 31, told Ring Magazine: “I went and worked with my brother for a bit. It was alright, it is what it is. “There was nothing happening at the time so I got a job with my brother. We were cleaning out houses for the council, I didn’t mind it at all.READ MORE IN BOXING”But to be fair pal, I know people keep saying ‘Sam went and lived a normal life’ but I was there from probably Tuesday one week to the Wednesday after. “I barely had a full-time job. I went for the interview, I got the job but I was there for six days max. The job was good but I was just cleaning out houses.” Eggington has been in brutal bouts and come up controversially short before – like his Fight of The Year with Ted Cheeseman in 2020.He lost another tight points decision in Telford against Baraou for the 154lb European title – losing hope in the sport in the process.

Cutler beat Stephen McKenna in a breakout performance in December – not that Eggington saw it though. He said: “I didn’t watch it, but as long as I do what I do, I’m 100 percent confident it’ll be a good night. “I’m not going to change my style for anyone. You go and watch the best Sam Eggington, that’s what people can expect on the night, I’m not changing a single thing for him.Read More on The Sun”I always make sure in my fights that I don’t make myself look like a fool.
