Watzke bids Jurgen Klopp goodluck with Red Bull role despite dispute

Borussia Dortmund’s chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke bears no ill will towards Jurgen Klopp.

This week, Watzke sent good wishes to Klopp, who has gotten a new job.

The former Liverpool manager will become the new global head of soccer at Red Bull, working for RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg. 

Watzke told Sky Sports: “For me, it was no surprise because we had spoken about it personally. I wish Jurgen, as always, good luck in his new job.”

Klopp said about the Red Bull project in 2017: ” I’m a football romantic and I like tradition in football and all that stuff. 

“In Germany, only two clubs sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ before the game and that is Mainz and Dortmund.”
