"Klopp officially took office on January 1st last year, but since his arrival things at the Red Bull clubs haven't exactly improved. As it stands, both Paris FC and Leeds United are battling against relegation, while RB Leipzig are struggling to secure a place in the Champions League next year."
"As reported by Austrian newspaper, Salzburger Nachrichten, neither Klopp himself nor Red Bull are satisfied with the current situation and could therefore consider an early termination of his contract. The report claims that should Klopp make it clear that he wants to leave the role and return to the dugout next season, Red Bull would not stand in his way."
"The German admitted that he was 'running out of energy' but added that he would never manage another English club other than Liverpool during his career. Following his departure, Klopp accepted a job as Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer, essentially making him the overarching sporting director of all Red Bull football clubs."
Jurgen Klopp departed Liverpool in 2024 after nearly nine years, citing depleted energy levels while pledging never to manage another English club. He subsequently accepted a position as Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer in January 2024. However, his tenure has been marked by underperformance across Red Bull's portfolio, with Paris FC and Leeds United facing relegation threats and RB Leipzig struggling to secure Champions League qualification. Reports indicate both Klopp and Red Bull are dissatisfied with current results and may mutually agree to terminate his contract early. Should Klopp choose to return to management, Red Bull has identified Oliver Glasner, an experienced manager with prior Red Bull system experience, as his potential successor.
