In October 2015, the world of football watched on as the arrival of Jurgen Klopp at Anfield took place, marking the beginning of a momentous journey for Liverpool FC. Having previously achieved success in a seven-year manager’s seat at Borussia Dortmund for the Bundesliga, Klopp brought excitement, thrill, and a vision for transforming Liverpool’s fortune and fame. It’s been just nine years since he first walked into Anfield with a truckload of experience and plenty of new opportunities, and his impact on Liverpool has been unmeasurable. From seeing the team lift their sixth Champions League trophy in 2019, to the EFL Cup this year, Liverpool and Klopp combined have managed to snatch eight trophies during his reign.
Sadly, though, it’s Jurgen Klopp’s last dance for Liverpool FC before we say goodbye — all eyes are on whether the team will snatch the win in the title race to the finish. Currently second place in the Premier League table, the team is sitting among rivals Arsenal and Manchester City. We know that Arsenal may be on top (for now), making this infamous title race intensify, and all the teams are vying for supremacy.
There’s no question that Liverpool FC is eyeing up the win to give Klopp what he deserves. Will this infamous Liverpool manager get his last dance? Let’s take a look at how they’re playing this season.
Most recent updates
Liverpool drew against Manchester United this week. Liverpool is definitely on a mission to get to the top, but what about Manchester United? Well, they’re on a dramatic downfall. This draw meant that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are all just one point apart in the impending scoreboards — which makes it the tightest title race this far into the season since 1998. It’s so close, we recommend that if you are going to go out and dabble in some sports betting, now would certainly be the time. It’s an every man for himself kind of three-way tournament, and the odds and results are changing day by day. Although Arsenal is currently in first place, they are actually sitting with the same score as Liverpool with 71 points — proving that Klopp very well could be on the way to an exit to remember — potentially giving Red and its bettors the win they’re after.
The most recent sprint between them and Manchester United on the 7th of April 2024 wasn’t as great as Klopp had hoped, given that they lost some points due to the 2-2 draw. While Arsenal and City both amassed points this week to get them to these top three places, Liverpool did the opposite and lost out. Because of this, in reality, Liverpool FC should be at the top spot, and they should all be chanting their win ahead of time. The Manchester United team, run by Erik ten Hag, was happy to cause this disturbance in the Reds’ play — but that’s the only reason if we were to fall at the last hurdle and disappoint Klopp. It’s ironic that Manchester United may not get a taste of the trophy, but could be the reason for a team missing out.
Is Jurgen Klopp Liverpool’s greatest-ever manager?
Klopp is currently beloved by everyone due to his impending departure from the team — and every Premier League home match sees their “12th man,” filling the seats and cheering the Reds on for success — it really is a fanbase to be reckoned with.
If we were to sit and look at numbers for the Reds, then it would be undeniable that Klopp is the best manager that Liverpool has ever seen. With eight trophies in his history and 283 wins in his first 466 games, amassing a win percentage of 60.73%, he’s proven to be a fighting force for the team.
Only three other managers have had control of Liverpool for more matches than Klopp has in total, but none of them have managed to beat his extremely high win percentage. He’s famed for being a great manager, and a brilliant coach — which is why the majority of Liverpool newcomers wanted to join the team in the first place. He brings a type of philosophy that you cannot learn, and possesses charisma that shuts down a room. His players respect him, and understand his reasonings — proving that everybody votes for Klopp as the greatest manager of all time.
All three teams fighting to the end currently have just seven games left until they lift the season-awaited trophy. Everybody may have their money on Manchester City to win due to the fact they have an easy run of games left to their final — but Liverpool is being fuelled by the energy of Klopp and the rest of the Reds crying out for this famous manager to have his last dance. He’s been a monumental part of history, a living legend, and the reason why Liverpool has the best fanbase in the world.
One thing we know for sure — they won’t go down without a fight and we know full well that Mohamed Salah will pull it out of the bag when they play against Everton and Crystal Palace. Oh, and we aren’t even worried about their match against Fulham — that one’s already decided. COYR, let’s do this for Klopp!
