Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has announced that he plans to take an extended break from football once he leaves Anfield. Klopp’s wife, Ulla Sandrock, has already made plans for his post-Liverpool life, including cooking lessons and dance classes. Klopp has won the Premier League and the Champions League during his time at Liverpool, and he could potentially add more silverware before departing this summer.
Ulla has been supportive of Klopp during his tenure at Anfield and even played a significant role in his decision to reject an offer from Manchester United back in 2013. Klopp revealed that his wife felt it wasn’t right for him to take over at United, but when Liverpool came calling, she gave her approval. Klopp and Ulla have made a lasting impact on Merseyside, and their bond has endeared them to Liverpool fans.
Despite plans for a break from football, Klopp joked that he may not have much of a break at all, as Ulla has lined up cooking lessons and dance classes for him. Klopp admitted that he is not much of a cook, having only mastered scrambled eggs during the COVID-19 lockdown. However, he is looking forward to the challenge of trying new things and stepping away from the intense world of football management.
Klopp signed a contract extension with Liverpool two years ago, partly due to Ulla’s desire to stay in the city. Klopp joked that he was being a good husband by agreeing to stay at Anfield, as Ulla wanted to remain in Liverpool. Their relationship has been a driving force behind Klopp’s success at Liverpool, and their joint decision to extend his contract was met with joy by fans of the club.
As Klopp prepares to bid farewell to Liverpool, he and Ulla will leave behind a legacy of success and passion for the game. Klopp’s time at Anfield has been marked by thrilling victories and memorable moments, and fans will miss his charismatic presence on the touchline. Ulla’s support and influence in Klopp’s career have been instrumental in shaping his journey at Liverpool, and their bond off the pitch has been a crucial factor in his success on it.
In the coming weeks, Klopp will say goodbye to Liverpool and embark on a new chapter in his life, with Ulla by his side. While Klopp may have plans for a break from football, knowing his passion for the game, it’s likely that he will be back on the sidelines sooner rather than later. Ulla’s plans for cooking lessons and dance classes reflect her desire for Klopp to experience new things and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation after years of intense football management. Klopp and Ulla’s partnership will always be remembered fondly by Liverpool fans, as they brought joy, success, and a touch of romance to Anfield.
