Klopp’s New Role: Leading Red Bull’s Global Football Operations
Jurgen Klopp has officially returned to football, but not in his usual role as a manager. The former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund coach has been appointed as the new head of global soccer for the Red Bull Group. While most are familiar with RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg in Europe, Red Bull owns several clubs worldwide, and Klopp will begin his new role with them starting in January 2025.
Klopp’s Role in the Red Bull Group
Klopp’s responsibilities will include working closely with the managers and directors of Red Bull clubs to develop strategies that focus on player development and recruitment. He will play a key role in helping these clubs nurture young talents and sign players for the future. His influence will be crucial in shaping the global success of the Red Bull Group in football.
Special Clause for the Germany National Team
The deal was finalized within the last 24 hours and comes with an interesting private clause. Klopp will have the option to leave his role if he wishes to become the head coach of the German national team in the future. While Julian Nagelsmann currently holds that position, this clause could pave the way for Klopp to take over if circumstances change.
