At his official unveiling by the German Football Association (DFB) on July 24, 2026, Klopp stated that if the public decides he is not doing enough, he will leave immediately without taking any severance pay.
“If you behave badly and don’t leave my family in peace then I’ll be gone, I’ll just turn away,” Klopp told reporters.
“I’m not doing this job for myself, I’m doing it for you. I’m taking this job even though I’ve seen how you’ve treated Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.
“I love this job but I am always ready to call it quits if need be.”
Meanwhile, Red Bull executive Oliver Mintzlaff said the company had agreed to release Klopp to allow him to take the Germany job.
“This wasn’t an easy decision but together with my fellow managing directors, Franz Watzlawick and Alexander Kirchmayr, we decided to support his ambition,” Mintzlaff said.
