Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been named as Red Bull’s global head of soccer.

The 57-year-old German left Anfield in the summer after almost a decade in charge, during which he won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup and two League Cups.

Klopp will join Red Bull on January 1, overseeing the company’s network of clubs.

A Red Bull statement read: “In his strategic role, Jurgen Klopp will not be involved in the clubs’ day-to-day operations but will focus on supporting the sports directors in advancing the Red Bull philosophy.

“He will also leverage his extensive network to aid in scouting top talent and contribute to the training and development of coaches.”
