New York Red Bulls: Jurgen Klopp has been appointed global head of soccer at Red Bull, his first appointment since stepping down from a successful spell in charge of Premier League giants Liverpool, the company said on Wednesday.

Klopp, who ended his successful nine-year stint with Liverpool following the 2023-24 Premier League season, will begin his new role on January 1, 2025.

"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," said Klopp, whose coaching career began with Mainz 05 back in 2001.
