Due to begin on the 1st January 2025, Klopp’s sabbatical is over following the departure at Liverpool.
After receiving a plethora of offers, Klopp has been appointed global head of soccer at Red Bull.
Speaking on the role, the former Anfield gaffer stated:
“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,”
“The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not.”
