Archbishop Paglia concludes mandate as President of Pontifical Academy for Life
In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia discusses the conclusion of his service as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, explaining that it is ordinary practice in the Roman Curia that, upon turning 80, all appointments expire. May 27, 2025 Archbishop Paglia speaks at a previous conference in Chile ((Conferencia Episcopal Chilena)) Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia recently returned from an international conference in Argentina, where he reiterated that life must always be protected, at every stage. Now, he has concluded a decade of work as the President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, a post the late Pope Francis entrusted to him in August 2016. Speaking to the Italian newspaper La Stampa , Archbishop Paglia noted that his 80th birthday was on April 20, 2025. 'Pope Francis asked me to continue' A few days ago, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Baldassare Reina to succeed Archbishop Paglia as Grand Chancellor for the Pontifical 'John Paul II' Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences. 'It's ordinary practice in the Roman Curia,' the Archbishop explained to La Stampa . 'Once you reach 80, all assignments expire. I turned 80 on the very day Pope Francis died, which delayed the notification.' 'Obviously,' he stressed, 'this also ends my mandate as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life.' Archbishop Paglia added that he had already submitted his resignation to the late Pope Francis upon turning 75, 'as everyone does,' adding that 'the Pope told me to continue until I was 80.' 'World is collapsing; fraternity is urgent' Archbishop Paglia spoke on bioethics at the international conference organized by the Catholic University of Buenos Aires to mark the 10th anniversary of the encyclical Laudato si' . He reaffirmed the Church's desire to defend life 'in every context, at every stage, and at every age.' In a world 'falling to pieces,' he said, we urgently need to 'set out to achieve genuine fraternity both among peoples and with creation.' He said we need 'a vision of a pacified humanity—a new humanism. The path exists: a disarmed, disarming, humble, and persevering peace. These are words spoken on May 8 by Pope Leo XIV. May they guide and inspire us.'--Vatican News

Jurgen Klopp's agent denies shock management return with Italian giants Roma
The German stepped down as Reds manager at the end of last season, calling time on a trophy-laden nine-year spell at Anfield, citing a concern over "running out of energy" and being aware that he "cannot do the job again and again and again and again." It was soon after that Klopp announced he was joining Red Bull as Head of Global Soccer, a move which did not go down well with fans of his former club Borussia Dortmund. Explaining his motivations behind the move, Klopp said: "I always want to try to learn new stuff and I felt when I heard about the role that's what I would do. "I no longer have to improve the game in individual places, but I want to make football better all over the world. No longer prepare a new game every week, but work on the bigger picture." However, according to Italian publication La Stampa, Klopp has had a change of heart and is now set to become Roma manager. The Serie A side are looking for a new head coach with Claudio Ranieri ending his third spell with the club. And La Stampa report on Tuesday that Klopp has agreed to succeed Ranieri. The report goes as far as stating the exact minute Roma sealed the deal, claiming it was at 10.57pm on May 18 that Klopp told Roma president Dan Friedkin that he was in. However, Klopp's agent Mark Kosicke has since poured cold water on the move.

Jurgen Klopp's agent responds to claims of ex-Liverpool boss's return as Roma manager
FILE - Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp gestures to fans at the end of the English Premier League soccer match between West Ham United and Liverpool at London stadium in London, Saturday, April 27, 2024. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung, File) Jurgen Klopp 's agent has denied a widely circulated report claiming the former Liverpool manager is set to return to coaching with Italian club AS Roma . The initial report, published by respected Italian newspaper La Stampa , suggested Klopp had agreed to take over from Claudio Ranieri at the end of the current Serie A season. However, the story has since been walked back , including by La Stampa itself, after clarification from Klopp's camp. On Sunday night, La Stampa published a report claiming that Klopp would be appointed as Roma 's new head coach, replacing Claudio Ranieri, who is expected to step into a more senior, advisory role at the end of the season. The article implied that the German had already agreed to terms, a claim that quickly caught international attention. The publication appears to have misinterpreted a video released by AS Roma, taking it as a coded announcement of Klopp's arrival, a conclusion that has now been discredited. Following growing speculation, La Stampa retracted the core of its original claim and acknowledged the misunderstanding. Klopp's long-time agent, Marc Kosicke , moved swiftly to shut down the rumours. Speaking to WinWinAllSports, Kosicke stated unequivocally: 'Klopp coaching Roma? This news is not true.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch Bitcoin và Ethereum - Không cần ví! IC Markets BẮT ĐẦU NGAY Undo The statement leaves no room for ambiguity and confirms that Klopp has no current plans to return to management, let alone with the Giallorossi. Jurgen Klopp stepped down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 2023–24 season after nine years at the helm. In January 2025, he took up a new position as Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer, a wide-ranging strategic role overseeing the energy drink company's international football operations, including clubs in Europe, Brazil, Japan, and the United States. His current contract runs through 2029. In his farewell address and subsequent public comments, Klopp cited exhaustion and a desire to focus on family — including his wife Ulla and his new role as a grandfather, as key reasons for stepping away from day-to-day coaching. Speaking in 2024, Klopp explained: 'I was running out of energy.' He added that he no longer felt the drive for the relentless pressure of club management: 'If you ask me, 'Will you ever work as a manager again?' I would say now no. But I don't know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool.' Although Klopp has been loosely linked to other high-profile jobs, including Real Madrid and the German and English national teams, no concrete talks have taken place. Mail Sport reported that, while Klopp was mentioned among the potential candidates to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Madrid, such a move was 'never likely.' The speculation around international management remains open-ended, but there is currently no indication that Klopp is actively pursuing any coaching position. In interviews since taking on his new role at Red Bull, Klopp has said he is enjoying a balanced lifestyle. 'I work, but not what I did before. I'm not just lying around, although sometimes I am. I don't miss anything,' he said in 2024. He also spoke about supporting the next generation of coaches from a distance, adding: 'Other top coaches won't be doing this forever either. The next generation is already out there… I'm really happy to watch them. And if I can help them with advice and support, I'm happy to do so.'

Speculation over Klopp coaching Roma laughed off by agent
Juergen Klopp laughs during his presentation as the new Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull Hangar-7. According to the Italian media, Juergen Klopp is to become the new coach of AS Roma. Jan Woitas/dpa Italian newspaper La Stampa has speculated that Jürgen Klopp will return to the dugout as Roma coach, but his agent on Tuesday denied there is any truth to the report. Since leaving Liverpool last year, the German has often said he is not ready to coach again. He is now global head of soccer at Red Bull, a job which has not gone well so far with their main team RB Leipzig missing Europe for the first time as a Bundesliga club. Advertisement He has also had to watch Arne Slot ease to the Premier League title in his first season at Liverpool. La Stampa went as far as to say that Klopp had a phone call with Roma's American owner Dan Friedkin late on Sunday and said "Yes." The paper used the headline "Habemus mister" in a playful reference to the recent election of a new pope. Even Italy's main news agency ANSA reported on La Stampa's story. La Stampa is well respected but based in Turin. The Rome sports paper Corriere dello Sport did not carry the story. Klopp's agent Marc Kosicke told German newspaper Bild: "Total rubbish. It's getting boring having to comment on these rumours all the time." Advertisement Sources close to the matter also told dpa the speculation was not true. Klopp, 57, has been heavily criticized by football purists for joining the football empire run by the energy drinks firm. Roma are looking for a coach given club icon Claudio Ranieri is stepping down after an interim spell in charge. The Giallorossi are fifth in Serie A with one game left and last won the title in 2001.
