It is said that a great woman is a driving force behind every great man, and the Liverpool FC coach has admitted that the desire of his wife to remain in Liverpool was a significant factor in the length of time he has spent at Liverpool Football Club.

Ulla Sandrock, Klopp's wife, has been married to the Liverpool manager since December 2005. Sandrock met her future husband while working as a bartender at the Munich Oktoberfest. She is a children's novelist whose first book, 'Tom and the Magic Football,' is about a magical football that transforms an 11-year-old boy into an incredible football player.

The book's first edition came out in 2008, and a sequel came out in 2010. She used to work as a teacher in Kenya, where she taught indigenous children.

Why was she dubbed the 'First Lady of Bundesliga'?

Sandrock was nicknamed "the First Lady" owing to her charitable deeds and her husband's reputation in Germany. She helped hungry children recover as a nurse in Nairobi. Ms. Sandrock made headlines in April 2022 when she gave £1,000 food coupons to Waitrose personnel in Formby, near their house.

Jurgen Klopp's family

Until their divorce in 2001, Sabine was Jurgen's first wife. There is only one child due to the relationship: Marc Klopp, who used to play for his previous club Borussia Dortmund, is now 33. Following a string of devastating injuries, Marc called it quits on his playing career in 2015. Klopp and his current wife, Sandrock, do not have children.

The Liverpool manager is known for his iconic smile, which he has flaunted recently. However, there lies a mystery behind the famous manager's sparkling whites.

His dentist, Dr. Hughes, claims the coach came to him after watching his work on Roberto Firmino, who revealed his dazzlingly white teeth after asking for "Maximo" brightness from the dentist. Hughes remarked in a BBC Sport interview in 2019

"Working with Jurgen Klopp came about because he saw Roberto's new teeth and decided he wanted to do something," .
"When Jurgen came to visit us, he basically just said he liked Roberto's teeth, that he wouldn't go nearly as white as Roberto's teeth, but he liked Roberto's teeth."

Jurgen Klopp's salary

How much is Klopp in a year? According to Goal, he earns roughly $18.9 million every year. He also received $8.4 million in advertising deals in 2021, according to MailOnline.

How much money is Jurgen Klopp on? He is the second-highest-paid manager in the Premier League, earning a salary of $17 million, just behind Pep Guardiola, who earns $20 million.

How much is Liverpool paying Klopp? According to the English media, the coach decided to maintain his financial situation. So, even though his performance could quickly deserve a significant boost, the former Borussia Dortmund player was paid 12 million euros per season, a price that will remain unchanged.
