Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been appointed global head of soccer at Red Bull.
The 57-year-old German will begin the role on 1 January 2025.
Energy drinks brand Red Bull owns RB Leipzig in Germany’s Bundesliga, Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg and Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, as well as Brazilian side Red Bull Bragantino.
It also took a minority stake in Championship side Leeds and became the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor earlier this year.
Red Bull says Klopp will not be involved in day-to-day operations but will advise teams on playing philosophy, transfer strategy and coaching development.
“I want to share the experiences I have collected over the years,” said Klopp.
“We all know there are more successful managers out there but in my career I have fought for promotion, fought for titles and I have fought for trophies.
“Sometimes we failed, sometimes we succeeded and dealing with that is not easy, but it is possible.
