German coach Jürgen Klopp stepped down as Liverpool’s manager at the end of last season. This came in as a shocker for Liverpool fans after almost a decade of successfully managing The Reds.
Klopp had announced that he would step away from the game for a year before searching for a new role within. The German manager had also promised that he’d never think about coaching any other English football club.
However, just a few months later, Klopp decided to sign up for a surprising new role within the industry. The 57-year-old will start as the Global Head of Football at Red Bull this January.
This has sparked controversy in both England and Germany as fans question his affiliation. Red Bull owns RB Leipzig and Klopp’s position means he’ll be aiding his former club Borussia Dortmund’s rivals.
The same questions have been asked in Liverpool as Red Bull recently bought a minor stake in Leeds United. Both the Kopites and BVB fans feel a sense of betrayal in the manager’s decision.
The German manager has also come down on his announcement that he would stay away from the game for a year. The contract with Red Bull also has a clause that allows Klopp to leave the position if an opportunity to manage the German National Football Team arises.
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota reacts to Jürgen Klopp’s decision to join Red Bull

Diogo Jota has broken silence on Jürgen Klopp’s new role with Red Bull
Diogo Jota has become the first Liverpool player to react to his former boss’s new job. While away on international duty, Jota took the chance to wish Klopp his best for the new position.
Klopp? He’s a person I have a lot of affection for, we have to respect his decision. I wish him the best of luck in this new stage.

While none of the other players have talked about this in public, Jota has seemingly broken the silence about Klopp’s decision. The Portuguese international holds no controversies against the German manager and wishes him the best in his new job.
Before joining the Red Bull network, Klopp was offered a job at the US Men’s National Team. The German rejected the offer and opted for a more off-the-field role within the game.
Red Bull directly owns four clubs in Germany, Austria, the United States and Brazil. Jürgen will oversee the workings at these clubs and will have a direct impact on the decision-making process related to football.
