Jurgen Klopp ‘already unhappy and worn out with his new job at Red Bull after just four months and would return to management for two big jobs’

Jurgen Klopp is already unhappy and worn out with his new job at Red Bull and would consider returning to management for two big jobs, according to a new report.

Klopp, 57, was appointed the company’s Global Head of Football on a five-year deal and began work in January, just a few months after stepping down at Liverpool.

He was expected to take a hiatus away from the sport following his emotional Anfield departure and eyebrows were raised when he was unveiled by the energy drink giant, who own RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and New York Red Bulls among others.

But Brazilian publication UOL have alleged Klopp has become dissatisfied in his role.

Klopp is thought to be earning between €12million (£10.3m) and €14m (£12m) but his mood is said to be ‘a recurring theme in the corridors of the company’.

Sources close to Klopp have reportedly claimed he would only leave Red Bull for two glittering destinations: the Brazilian national side and Real Madrid.

Previous reports said Klopp’s contract included a release clause allowing him to become Germany boss but this was shot down by Red Bull managing director Oliver Mintzlaff, who said he was ‘looking forward to a long-term collaboration’.

Spanish outlet Sport claimed Real Madrid may consider Klopp as a potential replacement for Carlo Ancelotti, who is under mounting scrutiny with his side on the cusp of Champions League elimination and trailing Barcelona in LaLiga. 

Klopp is not involved with day-to-day operations at Red Bull, instead advising clubs on playing philosphy, transfer strategy and coaching development.

‘A few months ago I said I don’t see myself on the sidelines any more and that is still the case,’ Klopp said on Instagram, addressing his new role. ‘But I still love football, I still love working and Red Bull gives me the perfect platform for that.’ 

His appointment was met with a fierce backlash in Germany but Klopp defended his decision to take on the role, saying: ‘You cannot make your decision depending on what reactions there will be. I am 57 and can still work a few more years. 

‘But I did not see myself on the sidelines for now. It was clear for me that I would do something. So then Red Bull came. For me it is outstanding.’

Klopp has been out of management since leaving Liverpool at the end of last season.

He stepped away after a glittering nine-year spell and almost 500 games in charge.

Klopp has refused to wave off the possibility of returning to coaching, saying ‘it’s a drug’

During his trophy-laden tenure at Anfield, he won Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup twice.  

Klopp has refused to wave off the prospect of returning to coaching, having previously joked: ‘I don’t know exactly why nobody believes I probably will not be a manager again. But I understand because obviously it seems to be a drug.

‘It looks like that because everybody comes back and everyone works until they are 70-something. I always had the idea that I will not do that that long.’
