JAKARTA - Red Bull's new global football leader, Jurgen Klopp, has his own ornamental vehicle at the Rose Monday carnival parade at Mainz, but may not match the former Liverpool coach's wishes.

The ornamental vehicle, at a march known for its political satire, shows Klopp, a former Mainz player and coach, with wings made of papernotes and holding a can of typical Red Bull energy drink and the ball.

"For Kloppo, the values he no longer cares about, used to be important. Because Red Bull captivated him with a lot of money, he has now fallen from his position hard," said the ornamental vehicle by his side.

Mainz legend, who later had a successful coaching period in Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, joined Red Bull this year as Head of Global Football Operations, which houses clubs in Brazil, the United States, Austria, France, and Germany.

The move deeply disappointed Mainz fans. Several Mainz supporters criticized Klopp's decision to join Red Bull, which owns Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, saying the decision was driven by financial factors.

RB Leipzig's rapid revival through divisions a decade ago to reach the Bundesliga thanks to the large investment of energy beverage producers that many fans in Germany did not like.
