The wait has been painful for Liverpool to secure its first top flight title in nearly 26 years.
For a club with the stature like Liverpool, this needs to change soon.
Men like Houiller, Benitez, Dalglish, and Rodgers couldn’t deliver the title its supporters so desperately want.
The 2013-14 season was a magical season for Liverpool, but ever since then, performances have not been anywhere near the quality needed for the Premier League title.
Enter Jürgen Klopp. The man has the charisma to sell any product to any person. He turned around FSV Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and is more than capable to do the same at a club like Liverpool.
The Kop was ecstatic when Klopp walked through the doors following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers.
Now, many supporters are discussing when the Premier League title will come instead of if.
Here are FIVE reasons why Klopp will be successful at Liverpool and bring them the Premier League one day………

He knows how to turn around clubs
Klopp guided Mainz to their first Bundesliga appearance and eventually to the UEFA Cup.
Not many managers can do that within their first couple campaigns.
Although his tenure didn’t end as planned, he showed what he was capable of doing.
His success at Dortmund is well profiled.
Klopp was able to defeat the giant of Bayern Munich, to not win one but two Bundesliga titles in consecutive years.
Liverpool should look at what he did with both these clubs and grin from ear to ear.
However, success won’t come overnight.
At both clubs, it took a couple years to truly get the club successful. Liverpool might have less patience, but it will be paid off in the end.
He demands the best
Klopp has shown he’s not afraid to make enemies.
If a player doesn’t perform up to the high standards, Klopp will gladly leave him on the bench.
Benteke, for example, has been given some chances to succeed and he has not taken them.
Klopp will play the players who he thinks will be the best XI to win the match.
His passion on the touchline shows how much he wants to win and the players better follow suit.
And if a player doesn’t have the right mental toughness to push themselves, they will not only play but also get a nice shout out in his pressers. Just ask Daniel Sturridge.
He can attract top players
One criticism of Brendan Rodgers was that he couldn’t bring in the top players to Merseyside.
Mkhitaryan, Willian, Diego Costa, and Alexis Sanchez were all players close to arriving, but the lack of confidence of the gaffer could have turned them away.
Klopp should not have such problems.
He led Dortmund to an unlikely appearance in the Champions League Finals and with that on his record, potential targets should take that serious.
Soon, Liverpool will be able to bring in these players and truly have a team to be proud of.
He is a long term manager
In today’s football, managers have only so much time before they get the boot.
With the amount of money at stake, owners don’t have the patience for a struggling side.
However, Klopp is different. He won’t produce magic overnight, but he will produce the results owners and supporters expect.
At FSV Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, he managed for seven years each with great results.
Liverpool fans should expect Klopp to be at Liverpool for the long haul.
He has extreme passion for football
Every manager should have passion for football.
Without it, the manager will never be successful.
When Klopp took his sabbatical from football, it was believed he would be out of the game for at least one year; it lasted only a few months.
He was interviewed about why he came back and stated that he had his time to relax and all he was thinking about was football.
This type of mindset will make him work harder than every other manager in the Premier League and this is the attitude the Kop wants and demands.
