Jurgen Klopp / Manager

Jurgen Klopp joined the Reds in October 2015, following Brendan Rodgers’ sacking after a poor start to the season. The German has been a revelation of sorts for the Reds, guiding them to a UEFA Europa League final in his first season.

The 55-year-old guided Liverpool to their first UCL Final since 2007 in 2018, unfortunately losing to Real Madrid. He guided the Reds to their first UCL win since 2005 in 2019, beating Tottenham Hotspur in the final. Liverpool went on to win the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup the following season as well.

The Reds won their 19th league title, and first in the Premier League era in the 2019-20 season under Jurgen Klopp.

In what was a very successful domestic campaign for the Reds, Jurgen Klopp led the side to FA Cup victories along with the League Cup and the FA Community Shield in the 2021-22 season. The German has won all possible trophies with Liverpool and the fans would hope for more successful seasons to follow.
