Former SC Paderborn and Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt will be Jürgen Klopp’s replacement as Red Bull Head of Global Football. The 59-year-old will depart his position as global sports director in the J League at the end of September.

He will then start his work at Red Bull Group on the first day of October. Red Bull Group announced on Friday that Schmidt signed a long-term deal with the club. Florian Schulz will take the role of Global Head of Commercial.

"I am very much looking forward to this new challenge and am proud to once again be part of the Red Bull family in the future. Red Bull's international club portfolio is unique, ambitious, and shaped by a clear philosophy of developing young talents while simultaneously achieving success at the highest level. It is precisely this combination that makes this role particularly appealing to me." said Schmidt about his new role.

Schmidt worked as RB Salzburg’s coach for two seasons before joining Bayer Leverkusen. He last worked as a coach with Portuguese side Benfica until August 2024. Including RB Leipzig and his former club RB Salzburg, Schmidt will oversee operations at six clubs.

Premier League sides Leeds United and Paris FC are also included in this since Red Bull Group have majority shares at those clubs.
