Jurgen Klopp shuts down reporter and tells him he will not manage six teams in world football

Jurgen Klopp has ruled out managing six clubs in his first public interview since joining the Red Bull Group.

Midway through the 23/24 season, Klopp sent Liverpool fans into orbit after announcing his decision to leave the club.

During his final season in charge, Klopp led Liverpool to the Carabao Cup, and the Reds mounted a charge for the Premier League title but ultimately fell short.

At the time, the German revealed he was 'running out of energy' and 'could not do the job again and again and again and again'.

It was expected that Klopp would take a break before returning to the sport.

However, the 57-year-old made a swift return to football as he was announced as the Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull back in October.

Having officially began his new role at the start of the month, a press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon.

During the press conference, a reporter asked Klopp whether he would consider stepping back into the dugout if one of the Red Bull teams needed help.

The German replied: "I will not be a coach of a Red Bull team. I sit here, as much as I can give a guarantee, but I'm the only person to be asked where I will be in five years, four years, three years - no one knows.

"I will not be a Red Bull club manager, I hope we create a structure where these questions can't be asked. That would be cool."

Currently, the Red Bull Group portfolio includes RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, RB Bragantino, Leeds United and Paris FC(Subject to completion).

When asked about the criticism he has faced since taking on the role with Red Bull, Klopp said: "I saw 47,000 supporters in Leipzig, 5,000 from Bremen. I sat there and I know and understand what they say about it. I say, 'do they not deserve good football?'

"All the people who are interested in Leipzig, I was 10 years not in Germany, Leipzig wasn't in the Bundesliga when I left. For me, it's completely natural thing but I really felt they deserve it. I think it's worth giving. I love football, there are much more important things than football but the impact it brings (can change environments)."

He continued: "I'm happy and proud to be apart of it. A doctor doesn't make a difference between patients (where they're from). I'm doctor football, wherever I am I give my all and now, we do it for Red Bull."
