The former Reds boss is set to embark on a new adventure, having joined Red Bull as their Global Head of Soccer.

The energy drinks powerhouse owns Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, and Brazilian outfits Red Bull Bragantino and Red Bull Brasil.

Since parting ways with Liverpool upon the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign, Klopp has been linked with numerous high-profile positions, including speculation around a potential move to Barcelona before Hansi Flick's appointment.

Klopp has now officially signed a long-term contract with the Red Bull group, effective from the start of 2025.

"After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this," he stated, according to the BBC.

"The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not."

The 57-year-old has enjoyed an incredible coaching career since his first role at Mainz, having collected a number of titles in his seven-year spell at Borussia Dortmund and later at Liverpool.

The Anfield fan favourite's decision to call time on his job at the Reds sent shockwaves around Europe long before his final game in charge, but he insisted he wanted a break from managing.

Oliver Mintzlaff, CEO of Red Bull's corporate projects and investments, said Klopp will be involved in advising teams on playing styles, coaching development and transfer strategies.

"Jurgen Klopp is one of the greatest and most influential figures in world soccer, with extraordinary skills and charisma," he said.
