JAKARTA - Jurgen Klopp's salary as Head of Global Football Red Bull has been revealed. The figure is fantastic, bigger than the salary of 18 Premier League managers.
The former Liverpool boss signed a lucrative deal with Red Bull this week.
Klopp will oversee the management of RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, two clubs in Brazil, and a third-tier Japanese team.
However, with such a responsibility, Klopp is paid a very high salary.
Indeed, his current salary was no bigger when he was still in charge of Liverpool with a salary of 15 million pounds a season.

According to Sky Sports, with the parent company Red Bull, he earned between 8-10 million pounds a year.
That figure will make the 57-year-old man pocket a bigger wage than the 18 Premier League managers.
Only Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) can beat Klopp's salary.
Guardiola currently receives the highest wage in the Premier League, which is 20 million per year. Meanwhile, Arteta gets paid 10 million pounds.
This means that Klopp will earn almost the same salary as Unai Emery at Aston Villa which holds 8 million pounds.
Apart from that, the former Dortmund manager has signed a long-term contract with Red Bull. However, he will only start work on January 1, 2025.
Klopp has been convinced that he can get out of this contract if there is a concrete offer he wants to pursue, namely being the manager of the German national team.
The position of head coach of the German national team remains an option for him.
Klopp was linked to the position in the past. It's just that, at that time he still felt at home in Liverpool.
He also did not keep his wish to become a manager of Der Panzer one day.
"It's not impossible for me to become a national coach (Germany) someday."
"However, it must be suitable. So far it hasn't. If I terminate the contract at Liverpool, then nothing will be done for a year," Klopp said in 2023.
The legendary Reds coach left Anfield after nearly nine years on duty.
In May 2024, he announced that he was running out of energy to lead a team. At that time Klopp wanted to take a break from football for a year.
