Klopp previously managed Mainz and Borussia Dortmund in his native Germany before joining Liverpool in 2016.<\/p>\n
He became a hero at Anfield, winning the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020, as well as the the Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Community Shield.<\/p>\n
His connection with Liverpool saw Klopp asked about the future of Mohamed Salah, who is out of contract with the Premier League leaders at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
“I hope he stays,” said Klopp. “He is the biggest striker of modern times, a fantastic player and fantastic human being.<\/p>\n
“An outstanding athlete in all departments, so I hope he stays at Liverpool.”<\/p>\n
Unlike at Liverpool, Klopp will not be involved in day-to-day coaching operations in his new job but will act as advisor for the Red Bull-owned clubs in Germany, United States, Brazil, Japan and Austria, while also supporting the organisation’s global scouting operation.<\/p>\n
He will also contribute to the training and development of coaches, and said he wants to be a valuable asset rather than a token big name.<\/p>\n
“It’s pretty much what I wanted to do. I finished seven months ago at Liverpool. I did that consciously,” he said.<\/p>\n
“A few months after that the opportunity came up. I don’t want to be a passenger or a prominent person in the room. I really want to put some value on it.<\/p>\n
“I did not want to do that [be a manager] anymore. I wanted to get a new start and this is an opportunity. To add value. How it will look we will see. There is not one plan that works for all teams.<\/p>\n
“We want to be the best we can be. In each department, in each club.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
