Ulla has been the driving force behind some of the most important decisions in her husband’s managerial career. The couple met while she was working as a waitress at Munich’s Oktoberfest and moved in together after just three days, marrying in December 2005.
In 2013, the former Borussia Dortmund manager was reportedly on the list of candidates to upgrade Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United until his wife stepped in. “Klopp told me maybe he had taken over Manchester United, but his wife said it wasn’t right. said legendary Reds defender Phil Thompson, who interviewed the manager for Sky Sports. “When Liverpool arrived, his wife told the truth. “

“I grew up in the Black Forest with two sisters, the only explanation why I knew where the kitchen was was because the smell came from there,” Klopp added. “I’m dead in my personal life. “
Each of the couple has children from past relationships: the manager was married to Sabine Klopp for 12 years and has a son, Marc, and he is the stepfather of Ulla’s son, Dennis. Last summer, they became grandparents when Dennis had a son.
“I already look like a grandfather and now I am, it’s great,” Klopp said, claiming he had a “perfect summer” spending time with his new grandson. It is believed that the technician needs to spend more free time with his youngest member of the family.
“We thought it would be a blessing to be able to be there for about four weeks, watch it grow and all that kind of stuff, go through all the initial phases,” he said. “yes, I’m just sitting on the sidelines, but I’m still involved.
“To be honest, we were in this role a long time ago, but I can tell you it’s like riding a bike,” the 56-year-old added. “It’s just lovely. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. “the last 30 years. To welcome such a glorious little human being. “
Klopp has been building an “eco-paradise” since he bought a £3. 4 million villa on the Balearic island of Mallorca. Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson told Off The Ball: “I’ve got a space somewhere not far from where he’s building his. Ulla, his wife, is guilty of everything and he said, ‘This damn thing is still in a position,’ and I pay all the bills!’
“I can tell you now that it’s not a big mistake, it’s surely a fabulous mistake,” the former defender continued. “It’s sensational. So he’ll probably retreat there for a while, I suggest. “
The manager bought the assets from Swiss entrepreneur and artist Rolf Knie in 2022 and completely rebuilt the 5,000-square-meter assets. German newspaper Bild revealed that the energy-efficient house has air conditioning, heating and irrigation systems that aim to reduce electricity consumption. up to 75 percent, all controlled over the phone.
