Red Bull Global Soccer has long operated in a slightly opaque manner, presumably deliberately. Back in 2014, when it emerged that Oliver Mintzlaff had been appointed the head of RB's worldwide soccer operations, it was a revelation that immediately raised questions about Gerard Houllier's role with the organization - since he had been presumed to have that job.
Gradually, it became clear that Houllier retained a connection to RB Global, but Mintzlaff was the boss - but RB Global itself was hardly proactive about communicating its revised hierarchy. As such, no great surprise that the latest news from RB Global has emerged in similar fashion: raising as many questions as it answers.
