“‘Dead to Me’: Bundesliga Reporter Reveals Shocking Dortmund Reaction to Klopp’s New Role”

Jürgen Klopp is making his return to football, and while many Liverpool fans are welcoming their former manager back, not all Borussia Dortmund supporters feel the same way.

ESPN’s Bundesliga reporter Archie Rhind-Tutt shared on X some of the reactions he’s received from BVB fans: “Football is dead. He’s absolutely dead to me. That makes me sick.”

This backlash might surprise fans on Merseyside, but digging deeper reveals why the reaction is so intense. The concept of fan ownership holds significant value in Germany, and Red Bull’s entry into football through Leipzig has left a sour taste for many.

Leipzig’s rise, facilitated by transforming their few remaining members into a commercial entity, has drawn ire from traditional clubs like Dortmund, who resent the perception of buying success.

Now, with Klopp set to compete directly against Dortmund and Mainz, his choice to return to the Bundesliga could tarnish his legacy among fans of his former clubs.

While this situation might seem like a smooth transition for Klopp in the Premier League, it could be viewed differently if a similar scenario played out in England.
