'He can almost do anything' - Jurgen Klopp told fans will forget Red Bull fury after one month as ex-Liverpool boss battles 'hypocrite' claims

<p>Following his departure from Liverpool at the end of last season, the German coach has been enjoying a well-earned break from football. But Klopp has now accepted a new position and will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jurgen-klopp-lands-new-job-former-liverpool-boss-signs-long-term-contract-cut-short-sabbatical-start-january/blt2940ee8b793694dc#cs7b2d6439b4cb4ac9" target="_blank">return to work as the new Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Klopp, who is widely adored by football lovers, especially in his native Germany, invoked the fury of fans for joining forces with Red Bull. As part of their ventures into sports, the Austrian energy drinks company infamously took over German fifth-division side SSV Markranstadt and turned it into RB Leipzig in 2009. Leipzig have regularly been referred to as the "most hated club in Germany" and have faced regular protests by opposition fans for transgressing a number of German Football Association (DFB) laws. While Klopp's decision has generated controversy, Christian Falk, the head of football at German tabloid BILD, believes fans will eventually forget it all.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Falk said: "I have been working on the story since May but Jurgen always hesitated - he wasn't sure he wanted to make that step. He won't have to work so hard as he did at Liverpool. He won't have to watch football every day.</p><p>"It is true it is controversial. There is a big discussion in Germany at the moment about 'has he sold his soul?'</p><p>"I would say no, because Leipzig is a big club. Of course it is hard in particular for Dortmund fans because there were big fights and they have always said it is a tinpot club - it is not traditional.</p><p>"But, by the end, after say a month or so, it will die down. The love for Jurgen Klopp in this country means he can almost do anything."</p>

WHAT FALK SAID

<p>Klopp will officially start his new role on January 1, 2025, meaning he will still have some more down time to enjoy his hiatus from the sport after spending nearly nine years at Liverpool.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR KLOPP?
