EX-LIVERPOOL BOSS KLOPP APPOINTED HEAD OF OPERATIONS AT RED BULL
Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has a new role as head of football operations at Red Bull, which owns the Leipzig, Salzburg and New York clubs, the company said Wednesday.
“After nearly 25 years on the sidelines, I couldn’t be more excited to be involved in a project like this,” said Klopp, who left Liverpool at the end of last season after nine years in charge.
The 57-year-old will start his tenure on January 1, 2025.
According to a statement released by the Austrian energy drinks brand on Wednesday, “Klopp will not interfere in the day-to-day business of the clubs, but rather take on a higher-level strategic position.”

Sky Germany reports that Klopp’s contract includes an exit clause that allows him to take over as manager of the German national side if he is approached.
The former Borussia Dortmund head coach rejuvenated Liverpool, winning the Premier League and Champions League during his tenure at Anfield.
