Did you forget everything we made you become?

Mainz fans, disappointed by Klopp's decision to accept Red Bull's offer, raised a banner on Saturday and reminded him of what he once said...

He ended his playing career in Mainz, started coaching job at the same place and was in charge of everything. Later he joined Borussia Dortmund, then Liverpool...

However, Jurgen Klopp's recent appointment as Red Bull's global head of soccer resulted in resentment from Mainz's most loyal supporters. On Saturday, when they hosted RB Leipzig, the club's ultras had a chance to target their former coach. They raised several banners that read: "Did you forget everything we made you become?", "Are you crazy?", and an old quote from Klopp, "I like people until the point they disappoint me."

Klopp will earn a reported salary of between €10m and €12m per year in his new role. Oh, and Leipzig did beat Mainz 2-0, but that was nothing compared to the attention those banners attracted across Germany on Saturday night.
