KLOPP RETURNS TO FOOTBALL AS RED BULL’S HEAD OF GLOBAL SOCCER

Klopp, who ended his nine-year stint at Anfield earlier this year, has signed a long-term deal with the energy drinks brand, believed to be a five-year contract. 

He will be responsible at the strategic management level for Red Bull’s international network of clubs, which includes RB Leipzig, New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Bragantino and Red Bull Salzburg, who are managed by former assistant, Pep Lijnders. 

Red Bull says Klopp will not be involved in day-to-day operations but will advise teams on playing philosophy, transfer strategy and coaching development.

Klopp will officially begin in the role at the start of next year. 

“A few months ago I said I don’t see myself on the sidelines any more and that is still the case,” Klopp said on Instagram.

“But I still love football, I still love working, and Red Bull gives me the perfect platform for that.”

Klopp has been on a break since leaving Liverpool at the end of last season, after a successful reign at Anfield.
