Jurgen Klopp took Mainz and Borussia Dortmund higher than they had ought to be in German football, and brought Liverpool back to the top table in England and Europe after joining the club in 2015.
Jurgen Klopp is the former manager of Liverpool, a club he rejuvenated into one of the powerhouses of world football after lifting the Champions League and the Premier League during his tenure at Anfield.
The Stuttgart-born manager began his coaching career at Mainz 05, the club where he had played the majority of his soccer as a striker and defender. In 2008, after seven years with Mainz, he joined Borussia Dortmund on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
At Signal Iduna Park, Klopp transformed the Black and Yellows and guided Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga titles and a UEFA Champions League final.
After another seven-year spell, this time with Dortmund, Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015 and moulded the Reds into an elite outfit again.
The Champions League was added to the Reds' trophy cabinet in 2019 before a Premier League title came Liverpool's way in 2020 - the Reds' first league title for 30 years.
In January 2024, Klopp announced he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season after nearly nine years in charge.
Liverpool began the long goodbye to Klopp with an extra-time victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
But it was the only silverware they picked up in the 2023/24 season after finishing third in the Premier League and were knocked out of the Europa League and FA Cup at the quarter-final stage.
In January 2025, Klopp became the Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull GmbH.
