AFCON 2025
Former Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp has been spotted enjoying his post-Anfield break with a friendly game of padel alongside NBA legends Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash.
The trio were seen on the Spanish island of Ibiza, where Klopp has been vacationing since stepping down as Liverpool boss at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The 57-year-old German joined Nowitzki and Nash for a lively session of padel, a fast-growing racquet sport popular across Europe.
Images and video clips of the match surfaced on social media on Monday, showing Klopp in high spirits as he rallied with the two basketball greats.
Nowitzki, a former Dallas Mavericks star and NBA champion, and Nash, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, appeared equally enthusiastic as they took on Klopp in the relaxed setting.
Klopp announced in January 2024 that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, citing the need for rest after nine intense years at the helm.
Since departing, he has made it clear that he has no immediate plans to return to coaching and is instead focusing on spending quality time with family and enjoying life away from the touchline.
