"Leeds contacted Klopp about replacing Daniel Farke, whose future at Elland Road is under increasing scrutiny. Despite Leeds' promising start to the season, their recent run of poor form has left the club slipping down the Premier League table, leading to mounting pressure on Farke from fans and club officials alike. Leeds United are currently 16th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone."
"Following his emotional departure from Liverpool, Klopp has taken up a broader football role, working as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull, overseeing the network of clubs that includes RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls. The 58-year-old German has maintained that he intends to take a sabbatical from frontline coaching, despite being linked with several major positions since leaving Anfield."
Leeds United approached Jurgen Klopp about replacing Daniel Farke after a poor run of form left the club slipping down the Premier League table.

The 58-year-old intends to take a sabbatical from frontline coaching and sources say he is content away from day-to-day management, although a future return to coaching is not ruled out. Red Bull is a minority shareholder in Leeds, and the club viewed Klopp’s link with the brand as a potential bridge to revive its managerial prospects.
