Klopp will be responsible for overseeing RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, and two clubs in Brazil.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is back in football, but not in a coaching role. The German has been named as the global head of Red Bull's football operations, overseeing the company's network of clubs from 1 January. Klopp, 57, has been on a break since leaving Anfield in the summer after almost a decade in charge. He guided the Reds to the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup and two League Cups.
The current manager, Julian Nagelsmann's contract ends after the 2026 World Cup Red Bull said in a statement that Klopp will 'focus on supporting the sports directors in advancing the Red Bull philosophy', rather than being involved in the clubs' day-to-day operations. 'He will also leverage his extensive network to aid in scouting top talent and contribute to the training and development of coaches,' the company said.
