Klopp dares to jump to Red Bull: sports director Heidel praises decision

Christian Heidel, sports director of FSV Mainz 05, has commented on Jürgen Klopp, from January 1, 2025 as a "Head of Global Soccer" at Red Bull, commented as brave and not surprisingly. Heidelberg reports that Klopp, who has signed long-term commitment, will be responsible for the international network of all Red Bull soccer clubs. Heidel emphasized that Klopp is aware of the debate about RB and does not follow the mainstream in his decision. "It's just about football," said Heidel.

This follows after Klopp's resignation as a coach of FC Liverpool in summer, while rumors continue to return to the Bundesliga as a national coach. Heidel, who was informed about Klopp's plans early on, showed complete understanding of Klopp's new approach, in which he can combine Red Bull's game philosophy with his expertise in scouting and in the selection of trainers and talents. While Heidel believes that Klopp as a trainer is unlikely to return, he did not rule out a return to the national team, "but at the moment this is not a topic" according to www.lippewelle.de .
