Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is definitely a winner on the field but new details released around his sponsorship deals show just how much he’s winning off the field too.
Jurgen Klopp’s advisor Marc Kosicke revealed to the Sun all about his many deals. He is the face of beer brand Erdinger, German car brand Opel and two financial institutes VR-Bank and Deutsche Vermogensberatung.
He has even agreed a deal to become the face of chocolate bar brand snickers at this summers Euro’s.
Kosicke said: “We decided that Jurgen stands for ‘Made in Germany’.
“We’ve managed to ensure that it’s all German companies he’s promoting.”
Klopp also promotes Sky which are a British broadcaster but Kosicke is adamant that this is only because Sky ‘feel like a German company because of its long history as a Bundesliga rights holder’.
The 53 year old earns £16m a year in his Liverpool salary and a whopping £6.7m from these many sponsorships with Kosicke saying that ‘turns down more offers than he accepts’ to prove that he is a football manager first and brand face second.
