Uli Hoeneß Doubts Jürgen Klopp’s Long-Term Future in Red Bull Role

He argues Klopp’s strengths lie on the training pitch rather than in a roaming executive position.

Overview

  • Speaking on the OMR Podcast on November 23, the Bayern honorary president said he cannot imagine Klopp staying in the Red Bull post for long.
  • Hoeneß described the 'Global Head of Soccer' setup as a poor long-term model in his view.
  • Klopp has spent roughly a year overseeing Red Bull’s football projects, including RB Leipzig and affiliated clubs in the United States.
  • Recalling 2008, Hoeneß noted Bayern considered Klopp before ultimately appointing Jürgen Klinsmann, who later struggled in Munich.
  • There is no indication of an imminent change at Red Bull, and Klopp remains in the executive role.
