Jurgen Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, is set to embark on a new journey as the global head of soccer at Red Bull. His appointment comes as a significant move for the company, with Klopp signing a long-term contract that will see him take on his new role starting January 1 next year.
In his new position, Klopp will be tasked with overseeing the strategic management of Red Bull’s international network of clubs, which includes renowned teams such as RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls, among others.

Oliver Mintzlaff, the CEO of Red Bull, played a pivotal role in securing Klopp’s appointment, viewing it as a significant coup for the company. Klopp’s successful track record and strategic vision are seen as valuable assets that will benefit Red Bull’s soccer ventures moving forward.
Following his departure from Liverpool at the end of last season, Klopp has been on a break, taking time to recharge and explore new opportunities. His tenure at Anfield was marked by unprecedented success, with Klopp guiding Liverpool to triumph in both domestic and continental competitions, including ending a 30-year wait for a league title in 2020.

Reports suggest that Klopp has negotiated an exit clause that specifically involves the Germany national team, hinting at potential future opportunities at the international level. Additionally, he is considered a possible successor to Julian Nagelsmann, should the current coach decide not to extend his contract beyond the 2026 World Cup.
