Liverpool: Fans commemorate Jurgen Klopp’s five-year anniversary in the Anfield hot seat

Many Liverpool fans have been hailing “genius” manager Jurgen Klopp on the five-year anniversary of his appointment to the job.

The German tactician has taken the club from Europa League participants to Premier League and European champions during that time, completely transforming the squad into a world-class outfit in the process.

Klopp has managed to average a points-per-game average of 2.04 from 270 matches in charge, the best of his career (as per TransferMarkt), and captured the club’s first league title in 30 years, just as he promised during his first press conference.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that he possesses the same aura as ex-Reds boss Bill Shankly, arguably the greatest manager that ever sat in the Anfield dugout.
