Overview

• In a new interview with The Athletic, the 58-year-old says he "misses nothing" about coaching but leaves a small door open for a possible future return.
• Since January 2025 he has been Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull, saying he has taken part in many transfer deals and serves as an "emergency line" for coaches and sporting directors.
• Klopp addresses criticism in Germany over his Red Bull post, noting fans there "love Red Bull" except in football and saying such reactions were largely limited to Germany.
• He describes a markedly improved quality of life after leaving Liverpool, citing family time and simple outings he long skipped, and compares elite coaching to work on a film set.
• Separate Saudi media reports and a transfer pundit have linked him to Al-Ittihad’s vacancy, but those claims are unconfirmed and remain speculation.
