Jurgen Klopp and his wife Ulla Sandrock have left a lasting impact on locals in Merseyside. The former Liverpool manager has bid farewell to Anfield after nine glorious years at the helm, winning both the Premier League and Champions League trophies to seal his place in football history. The German is planning to take a sabbatical before taking on any other high-profile jobs in the game, and it's unknown where he will end up next.
Klopp has lived in Merseyside since taking the job back in 2015 and it's expected that he will soon leave the region with his wife. But the couple will always be known by residents in the area, with Klopp regularly spotted in small pubs, offering to help quiz teams with their answers. Ulla also made a kind gesture to locals during their time there.
