The German newspaper Bild has indicated that the likelihood of Jürgen Klopp leaving his current position as head of global football at Red Bull at the end of this season is increasing.
There is dissatisfaction within the renowned energy drink company regarding Klopp’s performance, as most of the teams he has managed have suffered a sharp decline in results.
Therefore, it has become possible that Klopp will leave his post after only a year and a half at Red Bull’s offices, with a quick return to coaching.
Despite the strong interest from Real Madrid, the German coach plans to return to coaching only with the German national team and is not currently interested in working for clubs.
Julian Nagelsmann is currently coaching the German national team under a contract that extends until Euro 2028, but the young coach is expected to leave after the 2026 World Cup, as he wants to return to club management.
In this scenario, the German Football Association (DFB) would likely appoint Klopp, who is very receptive to the idea and sees it as the most suitable step for his career at this time.
What confirms Klopp’s intention to coach Germany sooner or later is that his contract with Red Bull includes a specific release clause that allows him to leave only for the German national team if he so desires.
Now, everything hinges on two factors: the first is Nagelsmann himself and what he wants after the World Cup, and the other crucial factor is how the German national team performs in the World Cup and how far they go.
