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.
