Coach Klopp reveals his future when leaving Liverpool
Manager Jurgen Klopp is believed to have a plan for his future away from Anfield after rumours he is the next target of the German Football Federation.
It is known that the German strategist has just signed a contract with The Kop until 2026. However, in the context that the German team has just fired coach Hansi Flick after a series of bad matches, Klopp is very likely to sit in the hot seat of head coach due to interest from the German Football Federation.
In addition, coach Jurgen Klopp admitted that leading the national team would be a "great honor" for his life, but he also emphasized that he would not break his contract with Liverpool to achieve that dream.
However, it is worth noting that Klopp intends to return to his homeland after his Liverpool career ends in the future. The 56-year-old coach has made clear his desire to take a sabbatical after leaving The Kop and will also consider whether the German Football Association is serious about him as a future successor to the German national team.
Thailand heavily fined by Asian Football Confederation for flares
Recently, the AFC has just imposed a very heavy penalty on Thai football, for allowing home fans to set off flares causing chaos in the match where Thailand lost 1-4 to South Korea in the quarter-finals of the 2023 AFC U17 Championship, at Pathum Thani Stadium on June 26.
Accordingly, the fine for Thai football is 60,000 USD, equivalent to more than 1.4 billion VND. This is one of the heaviest penalties for flares that an AFC member federation has to bear.
This is not the first time the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has suffered consequences for letting fans cause trouble with flares. At the Asian Beach Soccer Championship in March 2023, the organization also had to pay a fine of 70,000 USD and then at the AFF Cup 2022, FAT was also fined 20,000 USD for the same mistake.
Despite the FAT's efforts to crack down on flares and blacklist extremist fans, the efforts have not yielded any tangible results. The AFC has warned that it could ban Thailand from hosting international tournaments if such incidents continue.

In the 39th minute, Roberto Fernández kicked Romero's ankle from Argentina and received a red card and had to leave the field.
With the advantage in both score and number of players, the Argentina team easily doubled the gap before the break with a shot in the penalty area from defender Tagliafico.
In the second half, the score of 3-0 of the match was determined in the 83rd minute when Nicolas Gonzalez had an accurate finish after a pass from Palacios, the midfielder who was brought on the field in the second half.
With a much easier victory than expected, Argentina has earned all 6 points after 2 matches, continuing to consolidate its position in the top group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America./.
