Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has embarked on a new chapter in his football career, joining Red Bull as the head of global football.
Klopp, who led Liverpool to numerous domestic and European titles during his nine-year tenure, will officially start his new role at Red Bull on January 1, 2025.
In his new position, he will provide strategic guidance and support to the various Red Bull-owned football clubs, including RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls.
While Klopp won’t be involved in the day-to-day operations of these clubs, his expertise will be invaluable in shaping their overall football philosophy and development.
He will also play a key role in scouting talent and mentoring coaches within the Red Bull organization.
Klopp’s appointment comes as a surprise to many, as he had previously indicated his desire to take a break from coaching after leaving Liverpool.
However, the allure of a new challenge and the opportunity to contribute to the growth of a global football network appear to have swayed him.
Some German media speculate that Klopp’s new role at Red Bull could be a stepping stone towards becoming the manager of the German national team. With his proven track record of success and his deep understanding of German football, Klopp is widely seen as a potential candidate for the position.
