However, Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke has firmly ruled out any such scenario. Speaking to Sky Sport Germany, he said: “It’s annoying. He’s not planning to return to coaching a club and is happy at Red Bull.”
The statement effectively shuts down speculation over a potential return to elite club management for Klopp, who has been enjoying life away from the dugout since leaving Liverpool.
