A new role for Jürgen Klopp. Without a club since his departure last summer from Liverpool, where he spent nine seasons on the bench, the German coach (57 years old) was appointed last week as global director of football at Red Bull. While he will take up his new functions from 1is January 2025, he will receive emoluments significantly lower than what he received with the Reds.
A salary half as high as at Liverpool
The salary of Jürgen Klopp, who signed a one-year contract with the Austrian firm, would be between 10 and 12 million euros, according to Sky Germany. This sum is half as much as that which he received at Liverpool, where he received between 20 and 22 million euros before leaving the club.
Within Red Bull, he will notably be responsible for managing the entire football side of the company, which includes the clubs RB Salzburg (Austria), RB Leipzig (Germany), New York Red Bulls (United States) , RB Bragantino (Brazil) and FC Liefering (Austria). And soon Paris FC (France).
While the Arnault family, owner of LVMH, is about to become a majority shareholder of the Parisian club (55% then 85% from 2027), Red Bull must buy 15% of the current leader of Ligue 2 to make Paris FC is one of the flagship clubs in France.
But Jürgen Klopp would have a clause allowing him to terminate his contract at any time to become the new coach of the Germany team.
