Jurgen Klopp, Al-Ittihad, Red Bull
8 June 2026
Jurgen Klopp is reportedly in talks over a possible Al-Ittihad technical director role despite his agent recently denying a Saudi move. The former Liverpool boss is currently Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer.
Reports claim Al-Ittihad want Klopp to lead transfer strategy, but any switch would depend on timing around his Red Bull duties. Klopp is under contract until 2029, making the story a serious but complicated off-pitch development.
