New Red Bull football boss Klopp present to watch Paris FC game

Former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager Klopp has just started a new role with Red Bull which owns clubs RB Leipzig, Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.

Klopp happily posed for selfies alongside Pierre Ferracci, the president of the Parisian club which was sold to the family of France's richest person Bernard Arnault and Red Bull two months ago. The former solid Ligue 2 leaders, Paris FC have had a bad start to the year with consecutive defeats and are now third.

Klopp is due to speak for the first time since taking office on Tuesday at the Red Bull headquarters near Salzburg in Austria. The 57-year-old won back-to-back Bundesliga titles with Dortmund before moving to Liverpool. At the Reds, Klopp won several major trophies, including the Champions League and Premier League.

Klopp's appointment has however caused controversy, particularly in Germany where some fans are critical of the energy drink brand's ownership of Leipzig, as well as multi-club models in general.
