Jürgen Klopp's long-time companion and friend Christian Heidel has ruled out his comeback as coach shortly before his official introduction as global head of soccer at Red Bull. "As things stand today, I can hardly imagine it. But of course it will also depend on how he experiences this new role, how he feels about it," the FSV Mainz 05 sports director told RTL. If Klopp has the feeling in "two years' time: I have to get back on the bench. Then he will."
On Tuesday afternoon (2.00 pm), Klopp will be presented in Salzburg as the new Head of Global Soccer of the beverage company with clubs in Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, Brazil and Japan. After the first few days of getting to know each other, the 57-year-old will travel to the RB locations. There are expressly no plans for him to work as a coach.
