Once Jurgen Klopp begins his new role at Red Bull, there’s an expectation that he will be able to offer guidance as required to Championship giants, Leeds United.
Though it isn’t clear what Daniel Farke’s position would be on any involvement from his fellow German, the current all whites manager would surely be amenable to any input given just how well Klopp has done in the game thus far.
Jurgen Klopp could help Leeds in the transfer market
Given the tie up between Red Bull and Leeds, it’s clearly in everyone’s interest that the Yorkshire-based club firstly get promoted back to the Premier League, and then move forward rather than becoming a yo-yo club.
That may require the certain set of skills that Klopp possesses, though TNT commentator, Ian Darke, believes the former Liverpool man will be sensible with any potential approach.
“I think Klopp is sensible enough to feel his way through the relationship he’ll have with Farke and Leeds United,” he told MOT Leeds News.
“If he thought in any way he was cramping his style or impeding him, he would feel that’s not what his role is.
“Leeds are just one of the clubs part of the Red Bull empire and you wonder the extent of what say Klopp would have in anything like selection or recruitment, or the general approach.
“He’s been a manager for long enough to know he shouldn’t tread on any toes, and rather give a general hand of guidance. The Red Bull link-up will likely help Leeds in the transfer market, and Klopp could provide a connection.”
It may well be that Farke decides he would prefer to do things his own way, and that should be his prerogative given his position at the club.
At the moment of course it’s all ifs, buts and maybes, but it will certainly be an interesting time at Elland Road if Klopp is brought on board in some capacity.
