Mainz fans have expressed their discontent with former coach Jürgen Klopp’s decision to join Red Bull, displaying scathing banners during a recent match. The banners criticized Klopp’s move, questioning his loyalty and suggesting he had forgotten his roots.

One banner read, “Have you forgotten everything we made you become? Are you crazy?” while another highlighted an old Klopp quote: “I like people up to the point where they disappoint me.”

This backlash comes from the same club that previously terminated a player’s contract for showing support for Palestine.

Klopp’s move to Red Bull has sparked controversy, with some viewing it as a betrayal of his values and past statements. The reaction from Mainz fans reflects the strong emotions and sense of loyalty that define football communities.
