A prestigious spectator. According to information from L'Equipe, Jürgen Klopp will attend Paris FC's match against Amiens on January 11 at Charléty, on the occasion of the 18th day of Ligue 2. His presence must still be definitively confirmed. This weekend, the former coach of Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, now global head of football at Red Bull, will be in Paris for an express return trip, so he should not have time to visit the club teams in Orly.
The Red Bull group has officially become a minority shareholder (10.6% of the capital) of Paris FC since November 29 and the takeover of the club by the family holding company of Bernard Arnault (52.4% of the capital) which joined to the Austrian brand. Although he was enthusiastic about the project, Jürgen Klopp has not yet made the Parisian club his priority, and must manage other files in the coming months, notably RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg, in great difficulty. Currently. Former German international Mario Gomez, technical director of the Austrian group since 2022, is therefore for the moment the face of Red Bull in Paris.
Paris FC has lost its leadership position in Ligue 2
The latter has already visited the capital several times and helps Paris FC structure and define development priorities. Red Bull's expertise must be used as a priority to build a performance center that matches the club's ambitions: by the start of the 2025 school year, four new training grounds should be built. The Austrian group will also bring its know-how in terms of nutrition, recovery and training methods. Defeated in Lorient (0-2) last weekend, Paris FC lost its leadership position to the Breton club, on which it is two points behind.
