Jürgen Klopp returns to service at Red Bull
Klopp will take up his position on January 1, he will manage and supervise the clubs associated with the energy drink giant, in particular RB Leipzig in Germany and RB Salzburg in Austria, where the brand is a premium shareholder, but also the future entrant, Paris FC (Red Bull taking 15% of the club’s capital).
A salary more than twice lower than that of Liverpool FC
For this role, less exposed in the media and apparently much less stressful, the 57-year-old technician will earn half as much and more than with the Mersey club which he left a year before the end of his contract. At Liverpool, his salary was around 20 million euros per year. With Red Bull, it will be eight to eleven million euros per year, according to data published by the German media, Bild.
