Jürgen Klopp Takes Helm as Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer

The former Liverpool manager embarks on a new role overseeing Red Bull's international football operations, emphasizing collaboration and innovation.

Jürgen Klopp officially began his role as Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer on January 1, 2025, marking his transition away from coaching after over two decades on the sidelines.
Klopp's responsibilities include overseeing Red Bull's football teams across the globe, such as RB Leipzig, New York Red Bulls, and clubs in Brazil, Austria, and Japan.
During his introductory press conference in Salzburg, Klopp emphasized his goal to create value and share his extensive football experience rather than act as a figurehead.

Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff highlighted Klopp's appointment as a key step in elevating the organization's football operations and attracting top talent.
