Jurgen Klopp (58 years old), the former Liverpool technician, gave a large interview in which he said he was convinced he would never work as a coach. The German also spoke about his role at Red Bull.
Klopp left Liverpool in 2024, and hasn't stayed on the bench in 2024. The former Bundesliga and Premier League champion is the football director at the Red Bull group, which controls teams such as RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig and New York Red Bull.
Jurgen Klopp: “I don't want to work as a coach anymore”
Asked if he was looking forward to Liverpool's matches, Klopp replied: “No. Not at all. I was a supermarket of the way he played Liverpool. I watched a few matches, but I didn't look forward to coming to see the matches. I didn't know when the matches started.
I am simply on the outside. I do sports, I enjoy life, I spend time with grandchildren. I do absolutely normal things. “
“I no longer want to work as a coach. I think I will not be a coach. But you never know. I am 58 years old. If I started again at 65, people would say,” But you said you will never do that again! ““, Klopp told The Athletic, quoted by Sportal.bg.
Jurgen Klopp: “I'm not football pope”
“I am German. I know what people in Germany think about the involvement of Red Bull in football. They love Red Bull. From all points of view. But in football? No. The funny part is that only in Germany has been harsh. But there is no problem. Every one you want. You just have to accept that I have the right to do what I want, as long as I don't hurt.
By the way, I don't expect people to remember what I did for a particular club. The people in the mainstone from the stadium now … they were young children when I was there (no – 1990-2001 as a player, then 7 years as a coach), so their parents have to tell them who they are.
I don't expect everyone to like what they do. I have to do it for the right reasons, for my correct reasons. By the way, in Liverpool people are extremely happy to do what they do, because I don't train another team, ”Klopp said.
Liverpool has a specific style, which is very good. Very offensive. Do you take too many risks? Let's say so, there are different ways to act. I am not the Pope of football to tell people what to do. At least not outside the Red Bull world.
