Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a new role as head of football operations at Red Bull, which owns the Leipzig, Salzburg and New York clubs, the company said Wednesday.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season after nine years in charge, during which he breathed new life into the club and won the Premier League and Champions League.
His announcement in January that he was leaving came as a shock to the clubs fans, but Klopp said he was exhausted by the role.
The 57-year-olds new job with the Austrian energy drinks giant does not involve hands-on coaching.
According to a statement released by the company, Klopp will not interfere in the day-to-day business of the clubs, but rather take on a higher-level strategic position.
