Klopp ‘aura’ will boost Red Bull, says Leipzig coach Rose

BERLIN: RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose said Jurgen Klopp, who has been appointed head of football at parent company Red Bull, had the “expertise and aura” to boost the club.

Former Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz boss Klopp is set to start a new role as head of football operations at Red Bull, which owns the RB Leipzig, Salzburg and New York clubs, from 2025.

Rose, who played under Klopp at Mainz for six years and has previously spoken about his influence on his coaching career, said his addition was “a real bonus and a great signing”. “His aura and expertise will benefit and help us,” Rose told the Bundesliga website.
