Former Liverpool skipper Jurgen Klopp is stepping into an exhilarating new chapter, this time as the Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull. Starting January 1, 2025, Klopp will take on a role that promises new challenges away from the touchline but keeps him close to the game he loves so dearly.
After his departure from Liverpool last summer—a club where his name was sung from the stands and his leadership celebrated on streets painted red—the iconic German found himself missing the daily hustle of football. But it wasn't long before opportunity knocked again.
Speaking to Fabrizio Romano, Klopp couldn’t hide his enthusiasm.
“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,”
he shared, his voice tinged with the thrill of a new beginning. His eyes, always so expressive, sparkled with the same passion that had driven his storied coaching career.
"The role may have changed but my passion for football, it has not.”
This move to Red Bull marks a significant shift for Klopp. No longer in the thick of matchday tensions and last-minute goals, he's now shaping the future of soccer from a broader perspective. But at heart, he remains the same football lover, fueled by a relentless drive to innovate and inspire.
For fans and followers, Klopp’s new role is a narrative of transition, a testament to the enduring spirit of a man who has breathed football for a quarter of a century. It’s about finding renewal in change and staying true to one's passion amidst new adventures. As Klopp embarks on this latest journey, the football world watches, eager to see how this beloved figure will once again leave his mark on the game.
