    Klopp was in attendance to watch the Ligue 2 side continue their promotion push against Amiens on Saturday. The former Liverpool boss is set to have some involvement at the club, who are aiming to challenge Paris Saint-Germain's monopoly over the capital and French football overall.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Paris FC were taken over by the Arnault Family - who topped Forbes' list of richest billionaires in 2024 - in November, with Red Bull taking a minority stake in the club. That move means Klopp is likely to have a say in their development, as well as with RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls and Red Bull's other teams around the world after controversially taking on a role with the company. Club president Pierre Ferraci told BBC Sport in December: "What he [Klopp] did at Liverpool is the kind of thing we should be inspired by but not try to copy. He has the technical vision and the aura."

    WHAT NEXT FOR KLOPP AND PARIS FC?

    Paris FC are inside the top three of Ligue 2 and in a good position from which to win promotion at the end of this season. Klopp will work on helping the club fulfil its potential as the second-biggest in Paris from a distance, with fellow German Mario Gomez taking on the role of Red Bull's specifically-assigned figure at the club.
