Jurgen Klopp has reportedly been appointed as the Global Head of Sports at Red Bull after leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season where he spent almost 9 years as a manager.
According to Leeds Live, the 56-year-old German joined the Austrian energy drink giant’s football operations where he will be responsible at the strategic management level for Red Bull’s international network of clubs, including the likes of RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls
After his unveiling, Klopp said: “After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this.
“The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not.
“By joining Red Bull at a global level, I want to develop, improve and support the incredible football talent that we have at our disposal.
“There are many ways that we can do this front using the elite knowledge and experience that Red Bull possesses to learning from other sports and other industries. Together we can discover what is possible.
“I see my role primarily as a mentor for the coaches and management of the Red Bull clubs but ultimately, I am one part of an organisation that is unique, innovative and forward looking. As I said, this could not excite me more.”
