Watzke Ends Borussia Dortmund Talks with Klopp Following Red Bull Role

Jürgen Klopp's new position as global football chief for Red Bull reshapes his interactions with Borussia Dortmund's CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke.

Hans-Joachim Watzke, Borussia Dortmund's CEO, has decided to no longer discuss the club with former coach Jürgen Klopp due to Klopp's new role with Red Bull.
Jürgen Klopp, now the global football chief for Red Bull, oversees multiple clubs, including Bundesliga team RB Leipzig.
Watzke and Klopp remain close friends, with Watzke emphasizing respect for Klopp's contributions to Borussia Dortmund during his tenure from 2008 to 2015.
Klopp's return to Borussia Dortmund in a coaching capacity was once a possibility, but he opted for a broader supervisory role with Red Bull instead.
Watzke acknowledged Klopp's ability to choose almost any role at Dortmund but noted the significant differences between managing a single club and overseeing multiple teams.
