Klopp’s contract with Red Bull is due to run until 2029. He has stated on a regular basis that he has no intention of returning to the stresses of club management any time soon. He told Servus TV in January 2026: “I no longer wanted to live with this very tight schedule that I've had for over 25 years. The coaching market is being shaken up, and it's not so bad to experience it all from an observer's perspective and not think about what it might mean for you personally, because you're in the right place where you are.”
He went on to say of being a fan of long-term projects and commitments: “I stayed in Mainz for seven years, even though I could have moved every year; I stayed in Dortmund for seven years, even though I could have gone elsewhere relatively often; and I could have left Liverpool earlier, where I didn't have as many offers. So I like long-term relationships, and the one at Red Bull has only just begun.”
