Jurgen Klopp Reaffirms He Won’t Coach Again, Defends Red Bull Role

The 58-year-old says he is content in Red Bull’s head-of-global-soccer post following his 2024 Liverpool exit.

Overview

  • In an interview with The Athletic, Klopp said he does not want to return to coaching and that he does not miss life on the touchline.
  • Since January 2025 he has operated as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, advising across its clubs with input on transfers and staffing decisions.
  • Coverage cites his involvement in managerial changes at RB Leipzig, including Marco Rose’s exit and the subsequent hiring of Ole Werner.
  • He acknowledged strong criticism in Germany over his move to Red Bull but said he expected it and argued he is acting for the right reasons.
  • Assessing his former club, he suggested Liverpool’s very offensive approach under Arne Slot could risk leaving them exposed, and he reiterated long-held concerns about player workload and expanding summer competitions.
