Klopp defends joining Red Bull as global head of soccer starting next year

Jurgen Klopp has defended his decision to become the global head of soccer for Red Bull starting next year. He faced criticism from fans in Germany, particularly from those connected to his former club Mainz 05. Klopp, who previously coached Liverpool, Mainz, and Borussia Dortmund, stated that he found the Red Bull project "outstanding." He emphasized that he cannot base his career choices on public reactions. In his new role, Klopp will serve as an advisor for Red Bull-owned clubs in Germany, the U.S., Brazil, and Austria, without being involved in daily operations.
