World star sees Bundesliga game
RB scores – and Klopp celebrates exuberantly
January 12, 2025 – 4:18 p.mReading time: 1 min.
Jürgen Klopp is back in the Bundesliga – but only on a visiting trip. The former top coach watched a game in Saxony.
After the goal, he burst out: Jürgen Klopp cheered Xavi Simons’ goal to make it 1-0 for RB against Werder Bremen in the stands of Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena. The former top coach shouted his joy between RB managing director Marcel Schäfer and technical director Mario Gómez.
But why did Klopp watch a Bundesliga game between two rather average teams like Leipzig and SV Werder? The answer: He has been a lobbyist for the Red Bull Group’s soccer division since the beginning of the year – the official title is “Global Head of Soccer” – and in this role he tours the various locations.
After Klopp watched Paris FC play against Amiens SC (1-0) on Saturday, it was Leipzig’s turn a day later. He will then give a press conference at the company’s headquarters in Salzburg on Tuesday.
