When sharing about his decision to stay on at Anfield until 2026, the Liverpool manager said:

“I stay for another two years… ‘Why?’ is now the question. Because Ulla wants to stay! As a good husband, what are you doing when your wife wants to stay? You stay.”

Klopp continued:

“The most important contract I signed in my life was the one with Ulla. And that’s why it starts again, because actually we sat at the kitchen table and Ulla said ‘I can’t see us leaving in 2024’. I said ‘what?’. That’s how it all started and when that started I thought ‘let’s have a think’.”

With the recent contract extension, Klopp and his wife Sandrock will stay in Liverpool for at least another four years.
