Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has announced he is going to become a grandfather.
Klopp revealed the news during an interview on Polish television with his former Borussia Dortmund player Lukasz Piszczek.
'I'm going to be a grandpa,' Klopp told Piszczek on Viaplay Sport Polska during the interview at Liverpool's training centre.
Klopp and his wife Ulla Sandrock have no children together, but both have sons from their respective first marriages.
Jurgen became Dennis' stepfather, while Ulla is stepmother to Jurgen's son from a previous marriage, Marc.
Ulla's son Dennis is set to become a father.
German newspaper Bild reported that both Dennis and Klopp's son Marc get on well together.
German-born Ulla is a former social worker and novelist who met Klopp at Munich's Oktoberfest in 2005, where she was working as a waitress.
Known as The First Lady of Bundesliga in her home country due to her charity work in both Germany and Kenya.
Ulla worked as a teacher and hospital worker in Nairobi for three years, before settling in Mainz, western Germany, where Jurgen was living too, working as the manager of the city's football club, Mainz 05.
She endeared herself to locals in Liverpool after handed out £1,000-worth of £50 food vouchers to staff at their nearby Waitrose as a 'thank-you' for working through the pandemic back in 2020.
Klopp has previously said Ulla was crucial in convincing him to extend his Liverpool contract having initially planned to leave the club when his contract expired in 2024.
The 55-year-old ultimately signed a contract extension until the end of the 2026 season.
'The most important contract in my life I signed is the one with Ulla,' Klopp said last year.
'That's where it started again. We sat in the kitchen at the table and Ulla said, 'I can't see us leaving in 2024.'
'What is very important and is probably the most important - because I could not work against that and wouldn't want to work against it - is that my family, in this case especially Ulla, she just loves it here.
'If she would say, 'Honestly, I love the football and I love watching it but I actually want to go home', then we would go, that's the truth. She started it and here we are.'
