Jurgen Klopp loves life after coaching, doesn't plan on coming back: 'I miss nothing, I enjoy what I'm doing'
Klopp, now the head of global soccer at Red Bull, has a job that satisfies his coaching itch -- without the pressures of bearing '1,000% responsibility' for results
www.cbssports.com
sat down with Jurgen Klopp for 45 minutes as he told me about why he doesn’t miss coaching at all, work-life balance, why a Saturday in Central Park is better than a loss at Selhurst Park and more
a lot of great nuggets in this one, I highly recommend reading it

Gio Reyna starts for the first time under Mauricio Pochettino (in only his second game since he took over as the head coach)
here's what Tim Ream had to say yesterday about Reyna's return, saying he looks "more focused on the field" these days

Jessica Berman, answering @pcattry.bsky.social about Atlanta's stadium having artificial turf (an annoyance for players + teams), says #NWSL doesn't view it as simply grass vs. turf. “Not all playing surfaces are created equal.” The new NWSL Foundation will fund research, she says.

KC lost so much in their front line press with Chawinga and Cooper out (See: Debinha trying to do it herself in the first half). Wonder if the Current could have had a stronger midfield approach to offset Gotham’s high line
Never want to count out KC Current based on availability reports with the season the team put together, but they suffered a detrimental loss of a very special player ahead of this game that was key to success and yes I am absolutely talking about Michelle Cooper. #NWSLPlayoffs
