Former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly leaving his position at Red Bull.
The news was made just over a month after Real Madrid reportedly expressed interest in him becoming manager.
After leaving Anfield two years ago, Klopp ended his coaching career and took a position in the office as Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer.
Since then, he has not been in management. Klopp has distanced himself from a return to management, and his agency has repeatedly expressed that he is content in the position.

Klopp is now scheduled to quit Red Bull, according to Salzburger Nachrichten via Diario AS.
The 58-year-old started the position a little more than a year ago with the goal of helping the different teams that RB own expand and compete for titles, but things haven’t gone as planned.
Red Bull will therefore not prevent him from going back to management this summer if he so chooses.
Real Madrid Want To Bring In Klopp
According to reports, Real Madrid have been considering bringing Klopp to the Bernabeu for a while.
The name of Klopp instantly came up again after Xabi Alonso’s stint failed. Although Alvaro Arbeloa’s future is uncertain after the current campaign, Los Blancos would undoubtedly be thrilled to have the former Mainz 05 boss join them.
Klopp may contemplate coming out of retirement for one of two positions, “under the right conditions,” according to reports.
The other position would be with the German national team, which, depending on Julian Nagelsmann’s future, might become available following the 2026 World Cup.
