Secret meeting in New York… Within hours, Klopp’s contract with Red Bull was terminated

The former Liverpool coach will not continue as ambassador for the German brand

German Football Association officials will meet Red Bull Sports CEO Oliver Mintzlaff tomorrow, Tuesday, to try to finalize procedures to terminate Jurgen Klopp’s contract with the German national team so he can take over as coach, media reports have confirmed.

According to the magazineFew“German. The meeting will discuss the possibility of an early termination of Klopp’s contract with Red Bull, which runs until 2029, as the group’s head of global football, with Mintzlaff due to meet Klopp in New York later this week.

Klopp has already reached a preliminary agreement with German Football Association officials, including president Bernd Neuendorf and his deputy Hans-Joachim Watzke, in a meeting in the United States, where the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool coach works as a sports analyst for Magenta TV during the World Cup.

It is planned that Klopp will sign a contract until 2030, but the contract with Red Bull, where he currently works, has not yet been finalized.

Klopp’s continuation with Red Bull as a brand ambassador has been strongly suggested in the media, but some officials in the German federation do not support this solution.

Kicker explained that Klopp may be allowed to continue to advise the global company’s sports franchises when he is not working with the national team.

Germany are in need of a coach after Julian Nagelsmann resigned following Paraguay’s exit from the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup in the Americas, Mexico and Canada.
