Jurgen Klopp cashed in on commercial deals to the tune of £6.7million last year as a lucrative source of extra income on top of his
Liverpool salary.
The Reds' boss collects £16m a year from his wage packet at Anfield alone, but has boosted his personal earnings with a number of off-field ventures.
Having swiftly become one of the most recognisable sporting figures on the planet, Klopp has had no shortage of offers from companies looking to partner with him.
Among them have been chocolate bar makers Snickers, car manufacturers Opel, VR-Bank, financial consultants Deutsche Vermögensberatung, and TV service provider Sky.
His advisor, Marc Kosicke, said: "We decided that Jurgen stands for 'Made in Germany'.
Their report claims Klopp has to reject many of the offers extended to him, and donates heavily to charitable causes.
Klopp has also been seen in UK TV adverts for German beer brewers Erdinger - the scenes of which were filmed in a pub on Penny Lane, Liverpool, made famous by a song by The Beatles.
It was only in September that Klopp signed with sportswear giant Adidas despite Liverpool's sponsorship agreement with rival company Nike, suggesting his commercial income is likely to grow further.
