Jurgen Klopp<\/a> has reiterated that he has no plans to work as a manager in the future, insisting he \u201cdoesn\u2019t miss anything\u201d about the job he held for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

Klopp left Liverpool in 2024 and has barely watched the Premier League<\/a> since; his involvement instead focused on the role of global head of soccer with Red Bull.<\/p>\n

Despite that the 58-year-old continues to be linked with high-profile coaching jobs, most recently the vacant position at Saudi side Al-Ittihad.<\/p>\n

But speaking to The Athletic<\/a> in an in-depth interview, Klopp again stressed his stance upon departing Anfield: \u201cI don\u2019t want to work as a coach anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I think. But you don\u2019t know. I\u2019m 58. If I started again at 65, everybody will say, \u2018you said you\u2019ll never do it again!\u2019,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cEr, sorry, I thought 100 percent [when I said it]! That is what I think now. I don\u2019t miss anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Clearly Klopp has no immediate plans to return to management and his comments throughout the interview with Adam Crafton suggest those are unlikely to change in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring almost 25 years, I twice went to a wedding \u2013 one of them was mine and the other one was two months ago,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 25 years, I have been four times at the cinema \u2013 all in the last eight weeks. It\u2019s now nice to be able to do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in so many different countries as a coach and I saw nothing of them; just the hotel, the stadium or the training ground. Nothing else. I did not miss it, but I would now.\u201d<\/p>\n

His role with Red Bull is expansive and allowed input in transfer plans for RB Leipzig and Paris FC over the summer, as well as the unfortunate sacking of his former Mainz defender Marco Rose from his position as Leipzig head coach.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But even in his new job Klopp revealed he often leaves training sessions he is observing early \u201cbecause I don\u2019t have to see the last bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did it my whole life. It\u2019s crazy, but I don\u2019t miss it,\u201d he repeated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still in football, I\u2019m still at work in an environment I know about, but I learn every day new things. I didn\u2019t do that for a while to the extent I do it now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klopp, who has been vocally critical of the broadening of the football calendar included the Club World Cup, does still have time to gleefully observe the downfall of Man United<\/a> though.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not the final destination,\u201d he said of the Red Bull setup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not Liverpool\u2026or in former times Man United<\/a>! You can write that if you want.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jurgen Klopp has reiterated that he has no plans to work as a manager in the future, insisting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,2629,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-170634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-jurgen-klopp","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
