Jürgen Klopp defended Bundesliga club RB Leipzig’s decision to part ways with head coach Ole Werner. “Ole did a great job. We qualified for the Champions League. But at the same time, we have to look ahead,” the 59-year-old said on MagentaTV ahead of England’s World Cup match against Croatia in Dallas.
“We then thought about what that might look like given the workload ahead of us. Then the decision was made in Leipzig to make the change,” said Klopp.
The former successful coach is Global Sports Director at Red Bull Soccer and is also working as an expert for the streaming service MagentaTV during the World Cup in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. “We’re acting in an advisory capacity as a global team. We were involved in the decision-making process. We analyzed the season,” he said.
