Jurgen Klopp sensationally joined the "Red Bull" football system.

This move has faced quite a bit of criticism, as the ideologies of his former clubs "Mainz" and "Borussia" strongly diverged from "Red Bull," where everything is built on large investments and uncertainty.

Interestingly, Klopp began negotiations with "Red Bull" back in 2022.

According to the German media, in 2022 the coach had agreed to join the "Red Bull" system. He was convinced by Dietrich Mateschitz, who was then on the brink of death.

It is true that the verbal agreement might have been something like: "When I finish my work at 'Liverpool,' I will join 'Red Bull.'

From 2025, Klopp will be the head of the "Red Bull" international football system.
