Rumors surrounding Jürgen Klopp and FC Bayern Munich have been swirling for years. There has been constant speculation about whether the charismatic coach would one day stand on the sidelines of the German record champions. Now, Klopp's long-time advisor, Mark Kosicke, has revealed new details to Transfermarkt.de about FC Bayern's attempts to sign him. According to Kosicke, the club came "very close" on two separate occasions.

Leeds contacted Klopp about replacing Daniel Farke, whose future at Elland Road is under increasing scrutiny. Despite Leeds' promising start to the season, their recent run of poor form has left the club slipping down the Premier League table, leading to mounting pressure on Farke from fans and club officials alike. Leeds United are currently 16th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone.

The extraordinary success achieved by some of the world's greatest leaders often traces back to formative, and sometimes complicated, childhood environments. For Jurgen Klopp, one of the most celebrated soccer managers of the modern era, the drive that fueled his relentless career was rooted in the silent pride and unwavering expectations of his father.

When I was still very young at Schalke and extended my contract, I could have gone to Arsenal.

"I missed nothing in my life because I never thought about it," Klopp said. "So during almost 25 years, I twice went to a wedding -- one of them was mine and the other one was two months ago. In 25 years, I have been four times at the cinema -- all in the last eight weeks. It's now nice to be able to do it.

"After this, let's see what happens. Maybe in November, December or January it will be a disaster, we are exhausted and the World Cup has destroyed us."
