It’s dirty work for Jurgen!
JURGEN KLOPP will be putting on his hard hat when he leaves Anfield in the summer.
Once he has his working overalls on, the Liverpool manager will get stuck in to help finish a couple of ongoing construction projects.
The German coach is having two new houses built – one in Wiesbaden near Frankfurt, and the other in Mallorca, Klopp’s favourite holiday destination.
It will make a change from his latest Anfield rebuild, which has turned his Reds into title challengers again. Klopp is insistent he will take a complete break from the game for at least 12 months – but the stresses and strains won’t be ending.
The build in Mallorca is causing him headaches. Klopp said: “The bloody thing’s not even ready yet and I’m paying the bills.”
Klopp and his wife Ulla Sandrock (above) bought the property in June 2022 for £3.4million from Swiss businessman and artist Rolf Knie – with Ulla placed in charge of overseeing the extensive renovation work on the 5,000m2 property.
The aim is to turn it into an ecological family paradise, in which electricity consumption is cut by 75 percent, complete with a state-ofthe-art irrigation system, and with everything controlled by phone.
But, with work behind schedule, Klopp has told friends that he will get stuck in himself to help complete the project after he leaves Anfield.
The landscaping of the garden has been left in the hands of the same company who designed the garden of billionaire Richard Branson’s hotel Son Bunyola, also in Mallorca.
The second build in Wiesbaden is to enable Klopp and Ulla to be close to family, after the pair recently became first-time grandparents.
