Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is back in football, but not in a coaching role.<\/p>\n

The German has been named as the global head of Red Bull’s football operations, overseeing the company’s network of clubs from 1 January.<\/p>\n

Klopp, 57, has been on a break since leaving Anfield in the summer after almost a decade in charge.<\/p>\n

He guided the Reds to the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup and two League Cups.<\/p>\n

The 2020 Premier League triumph was the club’s first title win in 30 years.<\/p>\n

After leaving, he said he did not want to take a coaching role for the foreseeable future, though he was thought to be one of the FA’s frontrunners for the vacant England manager’s position.<\/p>\n

He is also seen as a potential Germany boss and is understood to have an exit clause in his Red Bull deal if that national team role becomes available.<\/p>\n

The current manager, Julian Nagelsmann’s contract ends after the 2026 World Cup<\/p>\n

Red Bull said in a statement that Klopp will “focus on supporting the sports directors in advancing the Red Bull philosophy”, rather than being involved in the clubs’ day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

“He will also leverage his extensive network to aid in scouting top talent and contribute to the training and development of coaches,” the company said.<\/p>\n

Klopp said he sees his new role primarily as a mentor for the coaches and management of the Red Bull clubs, allowing him to “develop, improve and support the incredible football talent that we have at our disposal”.<\/p>\n

He said the opportunity “could not excite me more.”<\/p>\n

It is also the shirt sponsor of Leeds after buying a minority stake in the Sky Bet Championship club earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
