Jurgen Klopp leading Liverpool, welcomed the new year with a thumping 4-2 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield on Monday. The Reds gave the visitors a hard time, displaying dominance to secure the topmost position on the league table in front of an energetic home crowd.
The Merseyside club retained the number one spot on the points table, extending a three-point gap over second-place Aston Villa and a five-point lead over champions Manchester City and Arsenal. Amid the post-win celebration, Jurgen Klopp momentarily misplaced his wedding ring on the pitch.
Who is Jurgen Klopp wife?
Jurgen Klopp is renowned as one of the most elite tacticians in Europe. His management at Dortmund was highly praised. Whereas, at Liverpool, his arrival marked a change in the club’s fortune. Under his leadership, Liverpool ended their dry spell without trophies and title contention, securing the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League trophy.
Behind his success, one of the main pillars is his wife, Ulla Sandrock Klopp. It is believed that she was the reason the German manager extended his stay at Anfield. Klopp and Sandrock have been together since 2005, having first met at the Munich Oktoberfest where she was working as a bar waitress.
Jurgen Klopp’s wife is also renowned for her work as a children’s novelist and has gained recognition in the literature field. One of her first novels, titled ‘Tom and the Magic Football,’ revolves around a magical ball and an 11-year-old boy. Since then, she has been regularly publishing her novels and book writings.
Moreover, Ulla Klopp had also worked as a teacher in Kenya, providing education to local underprivileged children. She has been recognized as the ‘First Lady of the Bundesliga,’ an acknowledgment of her philanthropic works that made headlines for her charitable and public welfare actions.
Also, Ulla has been regularly captured in attendance at Liverpool matches, showing her support for the team led by her husband.

Liverpool resumed their Premier League campaign with a remarkable victory, defeating Newcastle with four goals, courtesy of Egyptian talisman Mohamed Salah, who netted a brace. Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo each scored one, securing all three points in what turned out to be a one-sided clash.
After the match, Jurgen Klopp was captured embracing his tradition of celebrating with home fans, punching fists in jubilation. However, moments earlier, the joyous celebration paused as the 56-year-old realized he had dropped his wedding ring in the mix and was seen looking around.
Fortunately, Klopp, after a few minutes of struggle, managed to find the ring with the help of a cameraman. The cameraman assisted the Liverpool boss in locating the exact spot where he lost his wedding ring. Nevertheless, Klopp appeared much relieved as he picked up the ring and kissed it.
