The former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is back in the game after being appointed as the new head of global soccer at Red Bull
“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,” said Klopp, who begins the role on 1 January 2025. “The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not.”
In July 2022, after a friendly between Liverpool and RB Salzburg, Klopp praised the organisation, saying: “What Red Bull is doing is a really interesting project, I have to say … They kind of change every year, they sell players but still a good team. It’s really interesting what they are doing. The football philosophy is not too far away from ours as well.”
One of the founders of the Red Bull philosophy is Ralf Rangnick, who later became Manchester United manager, with whom Klopp shared a high-pressing approach. The current Austria coach, who became Red Bull head of sport and development after being sporting director at both Salzburg and Leipzig, is a confidante and occasional mentor to Klopp.
