Jürgen Klopp unveiled as Global Head of Soccer by Red Bull

Former Liverpool FC men’s first team manager Jürgen Klopp has been unveiled as the new Global Head of Soccer by Red Bull.

As part of his job, Klopp, also former coach of the Borussia Dortmund and 1. FSV Mainz 05 men’s first teams, will be responsible for overseeing the management of all Red Bull-owned clubs around the world. 

Klopp has signed a long-term contract with Red Bull and will start in his new position on January 1, 2025.

Speaking on the new position, the 57-year-old said:

After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this. The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not. By joining Red Bull at a global level, I want to develop, improve and support the incredible football talent that we have at our disposal.

There are many ways that we can do this front using the elite knowledge and experience that Red Bull possesses to learning from other sports and other industries. Together we can discover what is possible.

I see my role primarily as a mentor for the coaches and management of the Red Bull clubs but ultimately, I am one part of an organisation that is unique, innovative and forward looking. As I said, this could not excite me more.

Speaking about getting Klopp on board, Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said: 

We are very proud of this outstanding and certainly the strongest signing in Red Bull’s soccer history. Jürgen Klopp is one of the greatest and most influential figures in world soccer, with extraordinary skills and charisma. 

In his role as Head of Soccer, he will be a game changer for our involvement in international soccer and its continued development. We are hoping for valuable and decisive impulses in key areas to make the clubs even better, both collectively and individually.
