As he made his way back to the city yesterday night, former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was seen arriving at Liverpool Airport.
After a highly successful nine years at Anfield, Klopp addressed an emotional farewell to the club a little over a week ago.
On Tuesday, though, he’ll be performing at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena for “An Evening With Jurgen Klopp,” so that will be his last farewell.The football club is presenting the private event in partnership with AEG, and celebrity Reds fan John Bishop will serve as host. Tickets for the event cost £37.
In addition, Klopp and his wife Ulla were photographed on Monday boarding a private plane to the city where he is beloved, seemingly in anticipation of that occasion.From Dusseldorf, Germany, one watchful eye seemed to be following a jet.
Whether or not Klopp was on board is unknown, however flight records indicate that the jet touched down around 7:16 PM local time.After leaving Liverpool and boarding a plane to Majorca with Ulla last week, the 56-year-old has wasted little time adjusting to life away from the pitch.
It was originally reported by MailOnline that Klopp was going to book a room at a five-star resort on the Balearic Islands.
As building on their new £3.4 million property nears completion, Klopp and his 20-year wife will relax at the Kimpton Aysla Hotel.
Following his June 2022 acquisition of the ‘ecological family paradise’ mansion from Swiss businessman and artist Rolf Knie—for €4 million (£3.4 million)—he chose to rehabilitate it to its former glory.
Meanwhile, Klopp said two weeks ago that his original intentions upon departing Liverpool were to take a vacation and attend the Champions League final to witness Borussia Dortmund, his previous team. With the time off at the conclusion of the season, I would jump on the first available sunbed while on the phone with agents, sports directors, and the like.
Yes, we were missing training sessions, but everything else was business as usual. I didn’t see even a fraction of the world for nothing, then.
Now we’re going to do nothing; I’m excited to watch the Euros here and there. After that, we’ll have a vacation and do nothing; after that, we’re planning to start traveling; I’ll keep you posted on how that works.
Klopp updated followers on his break, which included playing padel, last week on his newly-launched Instagram account.
“What have I been doing?” Improving my skills! Both the video and Klopp’s thoughts on leaving the club were captioned by the manager.
“The big goodbye was five days ago,” Klopp stated. Everything that transpired that day and the days leading up to it is still difficult for me to comprehend. Has somewhat calmed down now.
Thank you very much for everything; I’m not sure whether I conveyed my gratitude clearly enough.
What a fantastic day! I am so grateful for all the love and support I have received.
It was absolutely remarkable, the finest experience I could have hoped for.
What I’m doing right now is trying to get better in padel, which is actually my second great passion.
I began a few days ago; this is my third session so far. I was quite bad at it when I first started, so I had to take a break and get back into it.
‘I shall get there step by step.’
The news broke via MailOnline that the prestigious Mallorca Country Club had made Klopp and his wife Ulla honorary members.Reliable sources informed MailOnline that the manager has paid a visit to the €2,800/year club in order to play padel, a sport that combines elements of both squash and tennis.
Rumоr hаs it thаt Klоpp, whо is repоrteԀly “chаrismаtic аnԀ cheerful,” hаs аlreаԀy mаԀe а pоsitive impressiоn by pоsing fоr selfies with teаm members аnԀ emplоyees.
Klopp has acknowledged his addiction to the sport in the past and even had a padel court set up at Liverpool’s training facility.One pickleball court, six grass courts, one hard court, five clay courts, a gym, a pool, an ice bath, a sauna, and a member’s lounge and restaurant are among the amenities offered by the Mallorca Country Club. The club also features three padel courts.
Last week, the courts were graced with the presence of Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber, two former world no. 1 tennis players. The club is also set to host the ATP Tour next month.
In addition to Klopp and his wife, the honorary members include Boris Becker, Novak Djokovic, Princess Birgitta of Sweden, Prince Albert of Monaco, and British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson.
Close by Klopp’s villa is the Kimpton Aysla Hotel, where one can get rooms priced at approximately £500 per night.
Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and Robert Lewandowski, who he played with while at Borussia Dortmund, will be his neighbors.
