Red Bull relies on Jürgen Klopp as head of soccer to celebrate success in Germany and elsewhere. Uli Hoeneß doesn't think much of this model. He becomes clear.

Bayern Munich's honorary president Uli Hoeneß does not believe Jürgen Klopp has a long-term future at Red Bull. The long-time Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool coach has been the "Global Head of Soccer" for almost a year and is responsible for soccer in the beverage company's cosmos, including RB Leipzig and other clubs in the USA.

In the "OMR Podcast", Hoeneß said of Klopp: "I could never imagine him as an official who travels around the country, to New York, and looks after the various teams. And I don't think it will be a good model in the long run. I also don't think he'll do it forever, I can't imagine that."

Hoeneß clear: "Klopp on the pitch and nowhere else"

Hoeneß recalled that FC Bayern wanted to get Klopp in 2008 when he announced his departure from 1. FSV Mainz 05. In the end, however, the Munich club opted for Jürgen Klinsmann as their new coach. Klinsmann flopped at Bayern - Klopp was later celebrated at BVB.

"I have always admired Jürgen Klopp as a coach who stands on the pitch, who develops a team, who brings a team forward with his personality," said Hoeneß. When asked why Bayern did not come up with the idea of offering Klopp a position in management after his departure from Liverpool, Hoeneß replied: "I see Jürgen Klopp on the pitch and nowhere else."
