The German club Borussia Dortmund attempted to bring back their former coach Jurgen Klopp, but the offer was rejected, as reported by Sport Bild and cited by DPA. According to the sources, Dortmund’s CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzle, made an offer to Klopp two and a half years ago when he was still coaching Liverpool.
Klopp was offered a job of his choice – either as a coach or in another role – but he responded that he no longer wanted to work for just one club after his time at Liverpool and wanted to try new experiences. Recently, Klopp was named the global head of football for Red Bull, a company that owns several teams like RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls, signing a five-year contract without a release clause.
During his time as a coach at Dortmund from 2008 to 2015, Klopp helped the team win Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012, the German Cup in 2012, the German Super Cup in 2013 and 2014, and led them to the Champions League final in 2013.
This news sheds light on Klopp’s career decisions and the interest from his former club, Dortmund, while highlighting his new role with Red Bull. It showcases his success as a coach, particularly during his time with Dortmund, and his willingness to pursue new opportunities in the football world.
