Hoeness Predicts Klopp Will Leave Red Bull Role for a Coaching Return

The Bayern figure argues Klopp belongs on the touchline, reviving questions about his executive future.

Overview

  • Uli Hoeness told the OMR podcast he cannot see Jürgen Klopp staying long term in a roaming executive post across Red Bull’s clubs.
  • Klopp has served as Red Bull’s Global Head of Soccer since January 2025, directing strategy for RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.
  • Klopp says he enjoys the role and has urged people to ignore claims of a near‑term comeback to management.
