"This is total nonsense and completely unfounded. On the contrary, we are extremely satisfied with Jürgen Klopp's work. We are convinced that he is the right man for this job. That's where we are putting our full focus and our energy."
"Klopp has been overseeing Red Bull's network of clubs such as Leipzig, Salzburg and the New York Red Bulls since January 2025. When Klopp's Red Bull role was announced in 2024, he said he didn't see himself returning to coaching "for the time being" and that he saw his role chiefly as an adviser to coaches at the various Red Bull-backed clubs around the world."
Red Bull dismissed media reports suggesting Jürgen Klopp's position as head of global soccer was under threat after less than a year in the role. CEO Oliver Mintzlaff called the reports "total nonsense" and stated Red Bull remains extremely satisfied with Klopp's work overseeing clubs including Leipzig, Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls since January 2025. Mintzlaff emphasized Klopp maintains constant contact with coaches and sporting directors across the network and remains the right person for the position. While some clubs faced initial struggles, partial turnarounds have occurred, with Salzburg leading the Austrian league and Leipzig improving to fifth place under new coach Ole Werner.
