is reportedly 'worn out' just three months into his role as head of global soccer at Red Bull. The ex-Liverpool boss is taking some time away from the touchline but it is understood that two managerial positions have captured his attention.
Klopp stepped down as Liverpool manager at the end of last season after a hugely successful nine-year spell which included , and domestic cup success. He subsequently accepted an unfamiliar role at Red Bull, which involves advising their multi-club group on strategic and personnel matters, including the hiring and firing of players and coaches.
Despite having officially started work with the multi-billion-pound drinks company as recently as January, there are already murmurs about Klopp getting restless. According to , the 57-year-old is becoming 'increasingly worn out', and his dissatisfaction has become a 'recurring theme in the corridors' of the organisation.
The report adds that people close to the German have been told that he would only leave to take charge of Real Madrid or Brazil. Those two possible destinations are interlinked, as current Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is on the Brazilian FA's list of candidates to take over from the recently-sacked Dorival Junior.
Ancelotti taking the job would therefore open up a vacancy in Madrid which Klopp could be a prime contender to fill. Reports indicate that the Brazilian FA have not approached Klopp about taking charge of the national team, and it is unclear whether Los Blancos have reached out.
If any club or national team manages to tempt Klopp away from , they will need deep pockets. The former Mainz and Borussia Dortmund boss picks up around in his current post, which is in excess of £230,000 per week.
There were fears among fans that the Reds could endure a steep drop-off in the wake of Klopp's departure. But new manager has hit the ground running, and they are nailed on to win the Premier League title in his first season.
Slot says he has been in contact with Klopp this campaign and he can always count on the German for advice. "There's always something to learn from history or from recent years, but it's a different competitor this time, it's a different team we have," said Slot.
"We [Jurgen and I] haven't spoken about [managing a title race]. He mostly gives me compliments after a game. I can talk to Jurgen, I've experienced it."
