Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been appointed global head of soccer at Red Bull.
The 57-year-old German will begin the role on 1 January 2025.
"After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this," said Klopp.
"The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not."
Energy drinks brand Red Bull owns RB Leipzig in Germany's Bundesliga, Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg and Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, as well as Brazilian side Red Bull Bragantino.
It also took a minority stake in Championship side Leeds and became the club's front-of-shirt sponsor earlier this year.
Red Bull says Klopp will not be involved in day-to-day operations but will advise teams on playing philosophy, transfer strategy and coaching development.
