Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk applauds Joe Gomez's England recall
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk believes Joe Gomez's England recall is fully deserved as the team's popular utility man continues to impress.
Jurgen Klopp is the manager of Liverpool FC. He rejuvenated the club into one of the powerhouses of world soccer 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.
Liverpool began the long goodbye to Klopp with an extra-time victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
Dortmund's focus turned to UEFA Champions League in 2012/13. However, Klopp was irritated by the announcement of the sale of Gotze to rivals Bayern Munich, before the semi-final with Real Madrid. BVB beat Real but faced Bayern in the final at Wembley in May 2013. Arjen Robben scored a late winner as Bayern secured the trophy 2-1. Dortmund ended the season as runners-up in the Bundesliga.
Dortmund won the DFL-Super Cup in 2013 and 2014 and were beaten finalists in the DFB-Pokal in 2014 and 2015. However, on April 15 2015, Klopp announced he would leave Dortmund at the end of the season.
In June 2016, Klopp made the crucial signing of Sadio Mane from Southampton for £30million. The Senegalese attacker was to become a key component in Liverpool's success.
Klopp had his sights set on the Champions League in 2017/18 and added defensive class to his squad with the addition of Virgil van Dijk in January 2018 for a world record fee for a defender of £75million. However, Liverpool fell at the final hurdle losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League final 3-1.
In 2018/19, Klopp finally got his hands on the Champions League trophy after Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final in June 2019. The Reds finished second in the Premier League despite earning 97 points, an agonising point behind Man City.
Due to managerial success and a myriad of sponsorship deals, Jurgen Klopp has a net worth of £21million according to Spear's.
