Jürgen Klopp’s salary at Liverpool FC

At BVB, Jürgen Klopp, as one of the best-paid coaches in the Bundesliga, earned 5 million euros per season. But the trip to Liverpool has really paid off financially. It should be there since the last contract extension The salary of 18 million euros that Jürgen Klopp earns each year.

Jürgen Klopp’s contract, which runs until the summer of 2022, was in December 2019 ahead of schedule until 2024 extended. This is the longest coaching contract in Liverpool history and also the highest paid.
