Jürgen Klopp was announced as the global head of soccer for the Red Bull group on Wednesday in what will be his first job since leaving Premier League giant Liverpool earlier this year. Klopp will assume the role with the Red Bull organization – which owns several clubs including RB Leipzig in Germany, RB Salzburg in Austria and New York Red Bulls in the US – on January 1, 2025. “After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,” Klopp said in a press release. “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. “I see my role primarily as a mentor for the coaches and management of the Red Bull clubs,” he added, “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.” In his new role with Red Bull, Klopp won’t be involved in the day-to-day running of the network of clubs but will instead “focus on supporting the sports directors in advancing the Red Bull philosophy,” a press release from the company said.
