Jürgen Klopp Takes on Role as Red Bull's Global Football Chief

The former Liverpool manager aims to revitalize Red Bull's football operations while addressing challenges across its global network.

Jürgen Klopp officially begins his new position as Red Bull's global football chief on January 1, 2025, overseeing clubs in Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, Brazil, and Japan.
Klopp's role focuses on implementing his football philosophy, enhancing talent development, and addressing the declining success of Red Bull's football model.
Despite speculation, Klopp is not expected to take over as Leipzig's head coach, with current manager Marco Rose receiving his support.
Red Bull's recent struggles include Salzburg losing its dominance in Austria, Leipzig's early Champions League exit, and limited player success from its global pipeline.
Klopp's appointment has drawn criticism from some fans, but he has defended the Red Bull model as a football-driven initiative with regional importance.
