Jürgen Klopp Joins Red Bull as Global Head of Soccer

The former Liverpool manager's move to the energy drink giant has sparked mixed reactions among fans and football experts.

Jürgen Klopp will become the Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull starting January 1, 2025, overseeing clubs in Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, and more.
Klopp's decision to join Red Bull has been met with criticism from Borussia Dortmund fans, who feel betrayed by the former coach's move to a commercial entity.
Despite the backlash, football figures like Lothar Matthäus and Rudi Völler have praised Klopp's decision, viewing it as a fitting role for his experience and leadership.
Klopp turned down an offer from Borussia Dortmund to return in a managerial capacity, choosing instead to pursue broader opportunities beyond a single club.
His new position at Red Bull is a five-year commitment without an exit clause, marking a significant shift from his previous roles as a club manager.
