Klopp: I chose to stay in the Reds instead of coaching Germany

Recommendation Network reported on June 28 that former Liverpool coach Klopp responded to the reason why he did not coach the German national team in 2023 in a recent interview. Liverpool performed poorly in the 2022/23 season, and after the end of the season, Germany began to look for a new coach. Klopp said that he did not want to accept the position of head coach of the German team at that time, not because of the position itself, but because he did not want to leave Liverpool. He has established deep ties with the team and has just introduced new players, such as Endo Yoko and Heraffenberg, and he wants to reorganize the team with new players and core players. Klopp also mentioned that he has now left the coaching seat and served as Red Bull Global Football Director. Although there is controversy, he doesn't mind and thinks it is a good opportunity to share his experience. Regarding FIFA and the Club World Cup, Klopp believes that it is out of touch with the daily operation of football, and not every club can get the high bonus of the Club World Cup. He also pointed out that top players have serious shortage of rest time and the intensive schedule of events may lead to an increase in player injuries, and called for ensuring that players have enough rest time to maintain the long-term development of the football industry.
