Jürgen Klopp's charm offensive as Red Bull's head of global soccer began in Salzburg, Austria, when the former Liverpool manager was officially presented in his new role and hit back at critics of the move.

Jurgen Klopp dismissed any suggestion the role could be a precursor to returning to management in the near future.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has ruled out ever coaching any Red Bull football team. The 57-year-old became Red Bull’s head of global soccer earlier this year and was introduced at a press conference at the Red Bull headquarters in Salzburg on Tuesday.

German coach Jürgen Klopp was presented Tuesday in Salzburg as 'global director of soccer for Red Bull', the energy drink brand that owns and sponsors teams in Europe, America, and Asia, and made it clear that his role will be that of an advisor and will never replace a coach.
