Jurgen Klopp has hinted at a potential return to management despite his current role as Red Bull's global head of soccer. The 58-year-old, who left Liverpool in 2024 after nearly nine years, has previously stated that only a Liverpool return would tempt him back to Premier League management.
Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Klopp said: "I said I will never coach another team, a different team, in England. So that means if then it's Liverpool ... yeah. Theoretically it's possible." However, he added that he does not miss coaching and is content in his current position at Red Bull.
Rumours surfaced in Austria suggesting Red Bull would not block Klopp if he opted to return to the dugout, with Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner mooted as a potential successor. Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff dismissed the speculation, telling reporters: "This is complete nonsense ... we are extremely satisfied with the work Jurgen Klopp is doing."
Klopp's contract with Red Bull runs until 2029. In a recent interview, he said: "I know I can coach a football team. But I don't need to do it until my last day." The German manager has not ruled out a future return, but insists he is in no hurry to leave his current post.
