No one from Merseyside can dispute that manager Jürgen Klopp has been one of the most brilliant masterminds not just in the recent past but in the entire history of Liverpool.

Since Klopp joined the Reds for the 2015–2016 season, the team has improved significantly both athletically and financially. Although the Premier League titles won by each manager rank the City manager as the most successful, the German has added a great deal of sustainability to what Manchester City already had with their
