"Jurgen Klopp Joins Red Bull Group as Global Head of Soccer, Aiming to Revolutionize Soccer Development and Strategy Across RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and More."
In a groundbreaking development, Jurgen Klopp has been officially appointed as the new Global Head of Soccer for the Red Bull Group. The former Liverpool manager will take charge of coordinating and supervising the soccer operations of all clubs under the Red Bull organization, which includes RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg, beginning January 1, 2025. Klopp’s duties will encompass advising on transfers, shaping strategies, and nurturing development plans throughout the group.
Showing his excitement for this new chapter, Klopp said, 'I want to work daily on nurturing the incredible soccer talent we have within the group.' Reflecting on his nearly 25 years as a coach, he added, 'After spending so much time on the sideline, I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of a top-level project like this. Even though my role may have changed, my passion for football and developing the game is as strong as ever.'
This represents a major change in Klopp’s career, as he moves from a direct managerial position to a role focused on strategic oversight worldwide.
