According to Sky Sport, Jürgen Klopp, without a job since he is no longer Liverpool coach, will become “global director of football” within the Red Bull group.
Jürgen Klopp has found a new job. But not on the sidelines. According to information reported Wednesday October 9 by Sky Sportthe 57-year-old German coach will become “global director of football” at Red Bull. The contract would already be signed and would begin on January 1, 2025.
A clause for the Mannschaft
Without a position since his departure from Liverpool at the end of last season, the German coach will probably advise the clubs of the Austrian group. A galaxy which mainly revolves around Leipzig and Salzburg, but which also extends to New York, Brazil with Red Bull Bragantino, and even Japan since this summer. Indeed, the bull brand acquired 100% of the shares of Omiya Ardija in August. This team currently occupies first place in the Japanese third division.
Still according to Sky Sports, Jürgen Klopp will not only intervene on coaching issues, but also on playing philosophy, club development and transfers. All under the supervision of the former president of RB Leipzig, Oliver Mintzlaff, who previously held this position and who is now executive director “projects and new investments” within the firm.
To achieve this big move, Red Bull had to agree to grant an exit clause to Jürgen Klopp in the event of an offer from the German football federation to succeed Julian Nagelsmann as coach of the German team.
