Jurgen Norbert Klopp (German: Jürgen Norbert Klopp, German pronunciation: [jjʏʁɡnklklɔp] (Sound to listen); born June 16, 1967, Stuttgart, Germany) is a German football coach who previously played as a football player in the defender position. The head coach of the English club Liverpool. He is considered by many to be one of the best coaches in the world[6][7][8][9].
Klopp spent most of his playing career at the Mainz 05 club; a hardworking and physically strong player, he initially played as a striker, and then was transferred to the defense. After finishing his career in 2001, Klopp became the club's coach and achieved promotion to the Bundesliga in 2004. Having suffered a demotion in the 2006/07 season and failed to achieve promotion, the German retired in 2008, becoming the longest-serving coach of the club. Then he became the coach of Borussia Dortmund and led them to the Bundesliga title in the 2010/11 season, and then won the first "golden" double in the history of Dortmund in a record season. Klopp also led Dortmund to second place in the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League, and left the team in 2015 as the longest-serving coach.
In 2015, Klopp was appointed head coach of Liverpool. He led the club to the finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2018 and 2019, winning the last of them and winning his first — and sixth - title in this tournament. In the 2018/19 season, Klopp's team took 2nd place in the Premier League, scoring 97 points — the third highest figure in the history of the English top division and the highest figure for a team that did not win the title. The following season, the German won the UEFA Super Cup and the first FIFA Club World Cup for Liverpool, and then won the first Premier League title for an English club[10][11], on the way to which his team scored 99 points — the second highest figure in the top English division — and broke a number of major league records. These achievements earned him two FIFA Coach of the Year awards in 2019 and 2020.
Klopp is a well-known supporter of gegenpressing, when a team immediately tries to regain possession of the ball after losing possession, rather than stepping back to regroup. Experts and fellow coaches call his team "heavy metal", referring to its pressure and high attacking performance. The specialist called Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi and former Mainz coach Wolfgang Frank his main sources of influence. The importance of emotion is something Klopp has emphasized throughout his coaching career, and he gained notoriety for his enthusiastic celebrations on the ../sideline
German coach Jurgen Klopp called the current Liverpool squad the best of all time at the club and compared his team to the Harlem Travelers– an American basketball exhibition team that combines elements of sports, theater shows and comedy in its performances..
"We have a really good team, a really good squad, and we have to show ourselves, we have to fight. The key to the victory over Inter was not the playing qualities or the potential of the guys – it's all about the attitude and the spirit that we created on the field. That w.It's all about what you do with the things you haveas all tWe just have to fight, and we don't think about how good we could be–we're not "Harlem Travelers." There are a lot of good teams that we hat matteredhave to compete with – no one here likes to be second. We need each of the players available in the application, and it's not even worth talking about it
