Klopp, who ended a successful nine-year stint with Liverpool earlier this year, will be starting on January 1, 2025.
“I want to develop, improve and support the incredible soccer talent that we have,” Klopp said.
Klopp served as Borussia Dortmund coach from 2008 and 2015, and led the team to the Bundesliga title in 2011 and 2012, as well as to the Champions League final in 2013.
