Red Bull Salzburg fans have ABANDONED Pep Lijnders | OneFootball

Who would have thought that Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders would be reunited so soon, especially under the Red Bull brand as Head of Football and Red Bull Salzburg manager respectively?

The former Liverpool manager and his trusted assistant both left Merseyside during the summer – Klopp for a break and Lijnders to dip his toe back into first team management in Austria.

The pair worked so successfully together at Liverpool that it made sense for Red Bull to want to bring them both into the fold, albeit in different roles to where they previously worked.

While Klopp will be starting his new role on January 1st 2025, there is an increasing chance that Lijnders won't be around to welcome him to the company.

His time in charge at Red Bull Salzburg so far has turned into a bit of a nightmare for Lijnders, who has angered fans with some of his decisions during big games and his alleged preferential treatment of Bobby Clark and Stefan Bajcetic after they joined from Liverpool during the summer.

It's been a tumultuous time at the club so far, with signs of fan unrest this early into his tenure a big cause for concern.
