Wednesday, October 09, 2024 - Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has expressed happiness after becoming the new Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull.
Klopp will begin in the new role from
January 1, 2025.
The German has been out of work since
leaving Liverpool in the summer.
Speaking after becoming new Global Head of
Soccer at Red Bull Group, Klopp insisted that his passion for football has not
changed.
“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I
could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,” Klopp was
quoted by Fabrizio Romano as saying.
“The role may have changed but my passion
for football, it has not.”
As Red Bull chief, he will oversee a roster
that includes Dortmund’s league rival Leipzig, Austrian team Salzburg, New York
Red Bulls, Bragantino in Brazil and Omiya Ardija in Japan.
“I see my role primarily as a mentor for the
coaches and management of the Red Bull clubs but ultimately I am one part of an
organization that is unique, innovative and forward looking. As I said, this
could not excite me more,” Klopp said.
