While Arne Slot readies his Liverpool side for a Premier League clash against Southampton, a crunch Champions League second-leg against Paris Saint-Germain and the small matter of the League Cup final against Newcastle United, all in eight days, Jurgen Klopp is enjoying his new freedom.

Had the German decided to extend his nine-year stay at Anfield, Klopp could have been the one preparing the Reds for this vital eight-day period.

Instead, Klopp, who won the Champions League, the Premier League, two League Cups and the FA Cup with Liverpool, is the global head of soccer of the Red Bull football umbrella, acting as an advisor rather than the manager of a team.

When Klopp announced it was time to hang his trustee Liverpool cap up for good, he admitted the non-stop demands and intensity of the role had left him exhausted.

I'm not a young rabbit anymore."

Seven months after he announced his intention to resign, Klopp was unveiled as the new head of global soccer at Red Bull.

During the campaign, Klopp has uploaded videos of himself exploring New York, Japan, Brazil and many other places.

In a recent Instagram post, he uploaded a video of him riding a ski lift, admitting he is enjoying the freedom of being able to ski again.

While he is also loving his holidays and new freedom, Klopp admitted to Sky Sports News that he is also relishing the challenge of learning day-to-day things he did not do while managing Liverpool.

Mentioning his wife Ulla, Klopp said: "I said, 'You don't want me to have a break because if I do that I will start working after four weeks again!' I should learn cooking probably so I can at least make some breakfast or whatever.

I'm pretty useless in private life."

If Slot goes on to lift the League Cup, the Premier League and, potentially, the Champions League, Klopp may find himself missing the thrill of winning a major competition and the buzz of the dressing room.
