Jurgen Klopp reveals REAL TRUTH about controversial new job | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp has spoken for the first time since taking his controversial job with Red Bull. The former Liverpool man doesn't entirely understand the uproar.

Jurgen Klopp is the head of global football operations with Red Bull. Or at least, he will be starting in January.

The German took the role in a very surprising move, given Red Bull's controversial standing in football. That's particularly the case in Germany, where many see them as a soulless enterprise looking to exploit football for advertising and little else.

And so Klopp, often seen as the face of German football and someone who actually battles back against commercialisation, shocked people by taking the job. Even more shocking is the claim that he might have agreed to take it on while still managing Liverpool.

The fallout from Liverpool fans has been minimal, admittedly, but Borussia Dortmund and Mainz fans have been vehemently against their hero joining Red Bull.
