Sport Bild reports that Red Bull are concerned that Jürgen Klopp will leave his role as Global Head of Soccer.  

In recent weeks, there has been speculation that the Energy drinks company are unhappy with the work of the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund head coach, and that he could be removed from his role as Global Head of Soccer, which he began in January of 2025.

While Klopp won’t be leaving his role to manage Real Madrid, there are discussions internally that he could leave Red Bull in the summer to replace Julian Nagelsmann as the German national team head coach, and this is considered a real possibility. 

Could Klopp replace Nagelsmann as Bundestrainer?

Just over a year ago, Nagelsmann prematurely extended his contract as national team manager until 2028. While the former Bayern Munich head coach also intends to see out his contract until then, too, and not return to club football. 

As of right now, it does not look as if Klopp will have the chance to replace Nagelsmann in the summer, unless Germany spectacularly crashes out of the World Cup for a third campaign in a row
