Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to “learning” about what is “useful for football” in his new role at Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer.
The legendary German coach confirmed on Wednesday that his first job since leaving the Liverpool dugout will be a new-look role from January 1, overseeing Red Bull’s global network of clubs including RB Leipzig, FC Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.
After winning the Premier League, Champions League and countless other titles during his managerial career, Klopp his now looking forward to experiencing football from a different perspective.
The 57-year-old revealed his new job will involve helping Red Bull’s managers through the ups and downs of football but also to develop the game as a whole.
Klopp said in a video posted on Instagram: “Hi, some of you might have heard already, some of you won’t. From January 1, 2025, I will be Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull, and I’m really looking forward to that.
“Few months ago, I said I don’t see myself on a sideline anymore, and that’s still the case, but I still love football and I still love working and Red Bull gives me the perfect platform for that.
“I want to share my experience which I collected over the years. And we all know there are much more successful managers out there, but in my career, I fought for promotion, I fought against relegation, I fought for titles and I fought for trophies.
“Sometimes we failed, sometimes we succeeded. And dealing with that is not easy, but it’s possible, then I want to learn again, because when you’re in the job and you have to play every three days, you barely have time for that.
“And now I have time, and I have the opportunity, and I want to see and feel and figure out what is useful for football, so developing football a little bit as well.
“As I said, [I’m] really looking forward to it, but now I go back on holiday, see you in January.”
