Net Worth
Klopp’s net worth is understood to be in the region of £20 million to £40 million ($25m – $50m), with reports varying regarding the exact figure.
Teeth
Dr Robbie Hughes is Jurgen Klopp’s dentist and is responsible for the German’s new look. Dr Hughes owns the Dental Excellence practice, which is based in Liverpool. “Working with Jurgen Klopp came about because he saw Roberto’s new teeth and decided he wanted to do something,” Hughes said.
Family
Klopp has been married twice. He was previously wedded to Sabine and they have a son, Marc (born 1988), who has played for a number of German clubs including FSV Frankfurt under-19s, KSV Klein-Karben, SV Darmstadt 98, Borussia Dortmund II and the Kreisliga side VfL Kemminghausen 1925.
On 5 December 2005, Klopp married social worker and children’s writer Ulla Sandrock. They met at a pub during an Oktoberfest celebration that same year. She has a son, Dennis, from a previous marriage. On 10 February 2021, Klopp confirmed that his mother, Elisabeth, had died; he was unable to attend her funeral in Germany due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Transfer
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he doesn’t know how Manchester United pulled off their summer spending spree. United have had an excellent summer in the transfer market as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer moved to improve his squad to make them into serious Premier League title challengers.
After several failed attempts, Jadon Sancho finally signed in a £72.9million deal from Borussia Dortmund, a significantly lower fee than what the German side was demanding 12 months ago.
Wife
Sandrock and Klopp have been in a relationship since December 2005. According to reports from The Mirror, Sandrock moved in with Klopp only three days after the pair began dating. Klopp first met Sandrock in Munich, during the popular Oktoberfest, whilst Sandrock was working as a bar waitress.
