The German tactician recently accepted the role of Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull.
It's his first job since leaving Liverpool at the end of last season, and he will now be overseeing the overall football strategy of club's such as RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.
The energy drink company is not particularly popular in Germany because of how they took over SSV Markranstadt and turned them into Leipzig, and Klopp has faced criticism for being affiliated with them as a result but has remained unapologetic in his decision.
"You cannot make your decision depending on what reactions there will be," the former Borussia Dortmund boss said on Germany legend Toni Kroos' podcast, as per the Daily Mail.
"I did not want to step on anyone's toes. I love all my former clubs, but I don't know what I could have done so that everyone is happy.
"I am 57 and can still work a few more years, but I did not see myself on the sidelines for now. It was clear for me that I would do something – so then Red Bull came.
"I can't poll the fans and ask them, 'what should I do?' If I had gone to Bayern [Munich], there would have been a huge outcry in Dortmund.

"What should I do? I want to keep working. If you organise your life around trying to please everyone, you'll find you'll fail every day."
