Jurgen Klopp joins Red Bull, keen to meet Verstappen

Renowned football manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed a keen interest in learning from quadruple Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen.

The 57-year-old German, famous for transforming football teams, stepped down from his top role at Liverpool FC after the 2024 season.

On Tuesday, Klopp was officially introduced as Red Bull's 'Global Head of Soccer' in Austria. In this role, he will oversee the energy drink giant's football clubs, including RB Leipzig and the New York Red Bulls.

Dr Helmut Marko, Red Bull F1 advisor, acknowledged the potential of Klopp's expertise to benefit Red Bull Racing, Racing Bulls, and the junior driver programme.

"I would like him to be involved with the drivers," Marko stated. "His experience and leadership could be decisive."

In an interview with Servus TV, Klopp revealed his enthusiasm to meet Verstappen in particular.

"There are so many things to talk about," Klopp said. "Not only because of how focused he is, but because of many other aspects. I would love to spend some time with him, so that I can understand how he can do what he does, while danger is lurking and he is driving 300kph through a 180-degree bend.

"He does all this while his mindset is still at its best. That is super interesting," Klopp added. "I have no idea how that works, so maybe he can explain it to me."

However, Klopp clarified that his primary focus remains football.

"I am not going to become a coach at a Red Bull team, that is a clear choice," he said. "I can assure you of that.

"But I am the only person in this room who is asked what I will be doing in four years. Nobody has an idea about that.

But yes, I always want to learn, also from other sports. The drivers are still at their best when it is most dangerous, so come on, give me that information and I will try to translate it into football," Klopp said with a smile.

Verstappen welcomed Klopp's addition to the Red Bull organisation.

"He has a lot of experience," said the Dutchman. "I think his arrival is very good news for the organisation. With all the experience he has, he can bring a lot of good to the organisation." body check tags ::
