Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool staff received a combined £9.6million when they left Anfield last summer.

The cost of paying off the iconic former head coach and his backroom team has been revealed in the club’s 2023-24 financial results.

In January 2024, Klopp announced his surprise decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.



Many of Klopp’s backroom team, including assistants Pep Lijnders and Peter Krawietz and goalkeeping coach John Achterberg, left alongside the German.

Liverpool’s financial results for the 2023-24 season show that departed staff, including Klopp, were paid a combined £9.6m in payouts.

Responding to news articles, some Liverpool fans wondered whether Klopp had actually been sacked by the club.

Klopp, who is now head of global football at Red Bull, has spoken prominently about believing his decision to leave was the right one - dismissing any suggestions that he was actually dismissed.

In an interview with Liverpool’s website at the time of his decision to quit, he said: “I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff.

You keep a specific level and I wasn't extremely happy with that to be honest."

The figures released by Liverpool also show that the club posted a record pre-tax loss of £57m for the 2023-24 season.
