Jurgen Klopp talks about his "gravedigger" nickname and his new position

Jurgen Klopp, the head of football at "Red Bull", recently learned about his nickname among coaches.

Idman.Biz reports that Klopp previously coached Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

"When I took this position, no one knew how it would go. Neither did I. My name is Jurgen Klopp, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was going to do. I'm sure many people thought he wanted to rest, stop coaching, travel a little - something like that - but I know myself so well that I know I won't be happy with that kind of life.

I recently heard that people call me "Totengraeber" – "gravedigger" among coaches, but that's the last thing I want to be. My role is an advisor, but an authorized one. I'm not one to run long distances. This means that I listen to the people in the clubs and trust them a lot. "Sometimes I calm things down, other times I make decisions. Sometimes I calm things down, other times I make decisions," Klopp said.
