Jürgen Klopp is set to join the Red Bull group in January 2025 as the global head of football in a role where will monitor coaching and support sporting directors.

This contract, however, leaves open the opportunity for him to step into the Germany role as he has supposedly secured an exit deal (Sky Germany) once Julian Nagelsmann's contract ends in 2026.

The exact length of Jürgen Klopp's contract is currently unknown, but it is certainly believed the be a long-term deal to oversee the Red Bull teams globally.

Regarding his new role, Klopp said: "“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this."

He added: "“The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not. By joining Red Bull at a global level, I want to develop, improve and support the incredible football talent that we have at our disposal."
