Uli Hoeneß doesn't think much of Jürgen Klopp's role as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull. "For me, that's not a role that suits him. Jürgen Klopp has to be on the soccer pitch, he's not someone who flies around the world to give lectures," Hoeneß (74), Honorary President of FC Bayern Munich, told "Bild" in an interview. "His greatest strength is the interpersonal aspect, how he can push the players. But how do you want to push something in Leipzig when you're already back in Salzburg and then flying to Brazil?"
Hoeneß can "well imagine" Klopp becoming national coach. "I hold him in high regard, but I only see him as a coach and nothing else," he said of the long-serving Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool FC coach. Julian Nagelsmann still has a contract as national coach until Euro 2028.
