Jurgen Klopp's future at Red Bull is in question, raising the possibility of the German strategist returning to the pitch soon.
Klopp may end his job at Red Bull.
After leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season, Klopp took on the role of Global Director of Football at Red Bull from January 1st last year. His nhiệm vụ is to oversee and provide professional direction for all clubs in the system. However, according to the Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten , neither Klopp nor Red Bull are happy with the current situation.
Several teams within the system are struggling. Paris FC and Leeds United are battling at the bottom of the table, while RB Leipzig are struggling in the race for a Champions League spot.
Austrian media reports suggest that both sides may consider terminating the contract early, even though their agreement runs until 2029. Sources also confirm that if Klopp expresses a desire to return to coaching as early as next season, Red Bull will not prevent it.
The group is reportedly considering replacing him with Oliver Glasner, the current Crystal Palace manager. Glasner previously worked within the Red Bull system and is considered a good fit for the group's operational structure.
The possibility of Klopp's return immediately attracted the attention of Liverpool fans. Manager Arne Slot is under pressure due to the team's inconsistent performance, fueling speculation about a change on the Anfield bench.
However, Klopp has previously emphasized that he will not manage any other English club besides Liverpool and has not shown any eagerness to return immediately. Another prominent name reportedly following Klopp recently is Real Madrid, the Spanish club in need of a top-tier manager.
Another scenario mentioned is that he could take over the German national team if Julian Nagelsmann leaves after the World Cup. Whichever option is chosen, Jurgen Klopp's name still has the power to create a huge stir whenever it appears on the coaching market.
