After nine years at the helm of Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp has decided to leave Merseyside to make way for Arne Slot. Thus, the German opened a new chapter in his life by becoming Red Bull's new global director of football. A new adventure for one of the best managers in the world. But his career could have taken a completely different turn. Indeed, his former club, Borussia Dortmund, looked up to him and a return was close.
“Jürgen knows very well that he could almost have chosen his position at Borussia Dortmund”
From 2008 to 2015, Jürgen Klopp was in charge of Borussia Dortmund. And the man with the glasses left an unforgettable memory in the heads of the supporters of the Ruhr clubs. Moreover, Hans-Joachim Watzke, the boss of the BvB, affirmed in the columns of Bild that he could have returned to the Bundesliga: “We talked about it a long time ago. Jürgen knows very well that he could almost have chosen his position at Borussia Dortmund but I don't think he wanted to be the only one to lead a club on a sporting level. It's a completely different thing to be part of a project with five or six clubs as a sort of supervisor or to return to Borussia Dortmund.” A return to the promised land which would have had a very beautiful appearance.
