Jürgen Klopp presented at Red Bull in Salzburg

The 57-year-old German also answered questions from almost 200 international media representatives in a one-hour live show in Hangar 7 at Salzburg Airport on Tuesday afternoon. “I thought it was a press conference and not that people would applaud when I came in,” were the first words Klopp said into the microphone.

Klopp’s role at the Bulls is of a strategic nature; he is not expected to play a role in the day-to-day running of a club. “I don’t want to be a passenger. I want to add value to the whole thing and I’ve seen in the last few weeks that I can do that,” explained the former Liverpool successful coach. With the Reds, Klopp won the Champions League in 2019 and his first championship title in 30 years in 2020. He had previously led Borussia Dortmund to two championships (2011 and 2012).
