The moon rested low in the sky that night, bathing the quiet village of Eloma in a soft, silvery glow. Inside a simple hut, lantern light danced gently along the walls.

Dike stood motionless, his gaze locked on the newborn cradled in his wife’s arms. But his expression was not one of joy—it twisted into something far more unsettling.

“What… what have you brought into this world, woman?” he muttered, his voice shaky, laced with shock and an edge of fear.

Moments earlier, he had been filled with anticipation, pacing the floor, heart brimming with excitement to meet the daughter he’d imagined countless times.

But now, staring at the infant with a head far larger than he’d ever thought possible, his hopes were instantly undone.

Nneka, lying weakly on the mat, had once been the jewel of Eloma. Her deep cocoa skin and eyes soft as morning dew had drawn admirers from far and wide. But she had chosen Dike—the village warrior, proud, fierce, and deeply loyal.

Their love had been a tale told in hushed, admiring tones. Dike, the fearless, had been undone by her gentleness. And Nneka, with her quiet wisdom, had found something pure in his defiant heart.

Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are settling in well under the leadership of Arne Slot, but the thought of Jürgen Klopp managing another team still feels strange.

Though Klopp has embraced his new role at Red Bull, rumors continue to link him to high-profile positions—including a potential move to Real Madrid.

Addressing the speculation, Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke gave an update, as reported by German football journalist Florian Plettenberg on X:

“New rumors link Jürgen Klopp to Real Madrid and Brazil. His top agent, Marc Kosicke, told Sky:

‘Jürgen is very happy with his new position as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull.’”

Plettenberg added that while there’s still genuine interest from top clubs and football federations, Klopp has no intention of returning to a head coach role next season—not even for Real Madrid or Brazil. Real, it seems, still has Xabi Alonso at the top of their wishlist.

This news will likely come as a relief to Liverpool supporters.

Klopp isn’t planning a return to coaching—at least not anytime soon.

For many fans, it’s a comfort. The idea of Klopp bringing his brilliance to another club, particularly Real Madrid, is a tough one to swallow—especially given ongoing links between Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Spanish giants.

So for now, Liverpool fans can breathe easy. Their beloved former manager is staying true to his word and stepping away from the dugout—at least for the foreseeable future.
