Jurgen Klopp has become well-known as one of the best managers in football history after a very successful period at Liverpool – and his salary at the Premier League giants shows how highly regarded he is in the game.
But the 56 year-old has called time on his spell in the Anfield dugout after eight-and-a-half years, with the bombshell statement at the start of the year catching the football world by complete surprise.
So, exactly how much money does Klopp earn at Liverpool as he bids to end his farewell tour with quadruple trophy success?
Here is everything you need to know about Klopp’s salary.
How much does Jurgen Klopp earn at Liverpool and what is his net worth?
Klopp earns about £15m a year at Liverpool, according to The Sun.
This, unsurprisingly, makes Klopp one of the highest paid managers in world football, with an estimated net worth of between £40m-£50m.
Klopp actually donates 1% of his salary to football’s ‘Common Goal’ initiative, which was set up by former Chelsea and Manchester United star Juan Mata.
Hundreds of names across the sport have signed up to the programme, which supports the United Nations with advancing humanitarian causes across the globe.
Alongside his Liverpool income, Klopp has topped up his bank account courtesy of historical sponsorship deals with the likes of Puma, New Balance and Adidas.
Klopp had signed a two-year contract extension with the Reds in April 2022, which was set to keep the German at Anfield until the summer of 2026.
What has Jurgen Klopp said about leaving Liverpool?
Klopp cited his dwindling energy supplies as his primary reason for stepping down as Liverpool manager.
Speaking about his impending departure from the club back in January, Klopp said: ‘I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it.
‘I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything.
‘But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take. It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy.
‘I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.
‘After the years we had together and after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together, the respect grew for you, the love grew for you and the least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth.’
