Jurgen Klopp's INCREDIBLE Red Bull salary revealed
Jurgen Klopp is said to be earning notably less in his new role compared to his Liverpool salary.
Back in 2022, Klopp signed a new long-term deal which would keep him at Anfield until 2026. However, the German shocked Reds fans in January this year when he announced his departure from the club stating that he had run out of energy as his reason to leave the Reds last summer.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Klopp will become Red Bull's new Global Head of Soccer, with his role officially commencing on January 1, 2025, with the 57-year-old set to break his hiatus and sign a four-year contract with the energy drink giant.

Klopp's Red Bull salary emerges
According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg Klopp will earn around €10-12 million per year in his new role.
It is said that the German chose this role consciously, with Liverpool.com reporting his workload will be significantly lower than at Liverpool with Red Bull confirming Klopp will not be involved in the day-to-day running of Red Bull's clubs, but will "provide strategic vision, support individual sporting directors, support the organisation’s global scouting operation, and contribute to the training and development of coaches".
However, should he choose to return to coaching there is a clause in his contract allowing him to vacate the role should he become the German national team head coach.
Klopp will be earning significantly less in his new role than he earned at Liverpool, where he was reportedly earning around £20m per year, which was said to be a factor into why Germany wouldn't move to hiring him for the national team.
Could this new role pave the way for him to take over Die Mannschaft in the future?
