Jurgen Klopp Is No Longer Unemployed After Leaving Liverpool
JAKARTA - Jurgen Klopp finally got his first job since leaving Liverpool at the end of last season. This time, he didn't work as a manager.
His new job has a unique release clause. The clause allows Klopp to get his dream job.
Klopp is known to have worked as Head of Global Football at Red Bull. He has signed a new agreement that will take effect on January 1, 2025.
However, the contract is unique. Klopp has a clause that could have left Global Football at any time if the German national team called him.
Being the head coach of the German national team turned out to be his dream. He has even been associated with Der Panzer since he was still in charge of Liverpool.

Now, Klopp doesn't want to keep his dream job a secret anymore. One day he will pursue that wish.
"It's not impossible for me to become a national coach (Germany) someday."
"However, it must be appropriate. So far it hasn't. If I terminate the contract at Liverpool, then nothing will be done for a year," Klopp said last year.
Meanwhile, at Red Bull, Klopp will be tasked with giving advice to their teams, including RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls.
He will be responsible for guiding the philosophy of the game and the development of young players and giving advice on transfers and appointments of managers.
This is a role previously held by former Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick. RB Leipzig was brought to the Champions League during Rangnick's tenure.
Jurgen Klopp is a very loved manager at Liverpool. He left Anfield after nine years on duty there.
He has brought English League titles (2019/2020), FA Cup (2012/2022), League/Carabao Cup (2021/2022 and 2023/2024), Champions League (2018), UEFA Super Cup (2019), Club World Cup (2019), and Community Shield (2022).
