Dietmar Hamann talks Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp up in comparison to Mikel Arteta

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has come to the defence of Jurgen Klopp, asserting that Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is not on the same level as Klopp.

Hamann, who has had some disagreements with Klopp in the past spoke candidly about Arteta’s tenure at Arsenal but made it clear that Klopp is levels above the Spaniard. Speaking to LordPing via ECHO, here is what Hamann said:

“They’ve brought in three excellent players, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber. Arteta is a good manager but you can’t compare him to Jurgen Klopp yet, he hasn’t won a title. Klopp won the first Premier League title in Liverpool’s history, been to three Champions League finals and won all the cup competitions he’s competed in at least once.”

Dietmar firmly believes that Arteta is not yet at the same level as Jurgen Klopp. Comparing the two managers, Hamann points out that Klopp’s accomplishments set him apart.

While Hamann acknowledges Arteta’s managerial abilities and the progress he has made at Arsenal, he believes that until Arteta secures a major title as Klopp has done, comparisons between the two managers are premature.

Jurgen Klopp’s impact on Liverpool has been monumental, transforming the team into a formidable force in English and European football. His tactical acumen, motivational skills, and ability to build a cohesive team have earned him admiration from fans and pundits alike.

On the other hand, Mikel Arteta is still relatively early in his managerial career. While he has shown promise and potential, he is yet to claim a significant trophy or achieve the same level of success as Klopp.
