After he resigned as Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp has been open about the fact that he probably will not return to the coaching profession.
The German, who was also very successful at Borussia Dortmund, now works as football manager in the Red Bull group.
However, Klopp had to endure a lot of criticism when he took the job and there are still some who obviously still resent the 58-year-old’s choice. One of them is former Romania goalkeeper and current member of the International Football Association (Uefa), Florian Prunea.
Calls Jürgen Klopp a “clown”
In a slightly absurd attack against the German, since Prunea and Klopp have not had much to do with each other over time, he goes for the throat of the former Liverpool boss. The Romanian is clearly irritated by Klopp’s Red Bull role.
– He went to Red Bull. He went to Red Bull Salzburg just to hang around there and get money for doing nothing, says Prunea.

It is The Mirror that discusses the case, and refers to Prunea’s statement in a podcast called IamSport.
The former goalkeeper is said to have also branded Klopp a “clown” for choosing to accept the job at Red Bull.

The Red Bull group has a number of clubs in its portfolio, such as Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls.
– I have never liked Klopp. It’s just a circus with him. He just toughs it out, Prunea continues about the German.
Thinks the Klopp attack is shocking
However, according to The Mirror, Klopp is highly respected internally in the football world, based on what he accomplished as a coach in both Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, which causes the newspaper to write that the attack is both surprising and shocking.

Especially since Prunea has a central role in Uefa.
Klopp himself has recently stated that he is enjoying his new everyday life, away from the hectic manager’s life.
– I didn’t want to be a manager anymore. I wanted a new start and new challenges, stated the 58-year-old.
