Klopp Returns to Football Scene with New Role

Former Liverpool Head Coach Jürgen Klopp announced his return to football scene for the first time since exiting the Anfield.

He will make his return in January as he is taking over as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull.

According to the club's website, Klopp’s new role is to “manage the company’s international network of football clubs.”

Klopp will “take on a higher-level strategic position to support those responsible for sports in the further development of the Red Bull game philosophy.

“In addition, the 57-year-old will use his network to support Red Bull in scouting top talent and will be involved in the training and further education of coaches.”

On his side, Klopp said about the new step: “After almost 25 years on the sidelines, I couldn’t be more excited to be involved in a project like this.

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

“By joining Red Bull on a global level, I want to develop, enhance and support the incredible football talent that is available to us. There are many ways we can do this, leveraging Red Bull’s knowledge and experience and 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 part of an organisation that is unique, innovative and future-oriented. As I said, nothing could excite me more.”
