Klein could not be contacted yesterday but Fairfax Media reported yesterday Klein had accepted a position with the Jockey Club in the United Kingdom to manage the Warwick racecourse.
Klein said he would take up the position after the Melbourne Cup day meeting at Wingatui on November 3.
Klein has been working in his position at Otago Racing Club for 12 years and would be replaced.
He is from England originally.
His sons Felix (15) and Jasper (13) are in the British Olympic development squad for free skiing.
Felix is the British under-16 champion.
They also play rugby at a high level.
Warwick racecourse is just south of the city of Coventry in the British midlands.
It is a jumps only course and stages up to 25 meetings a year.
Klein has worked hard in his dozen years with the Otago club and has seen the in-crease in popularity of the Melbourne Cup day at Wingatui and Christmas race meetings in central Otago and Invercargill.
Track problems had been somewhat of a hinderance in the last season a Wingatui but appear to have improved.
Klein is well suited to the jumps industry and manages the jumps division of racing for New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing since 2009 and seen a resurgence marked by four races over fences at a Wingatui meeting on May 31.
Klein took up his position in Otago in 2003.
