Liverpool have confirmed the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as their new manager. The 48-year-old waved goodbye to Borussia Dortmund in May after leading the club to two Bundesliga titles in a seven-year spell at the club. Klopp replaces Brendan Rodgers after the Northern Irishman was sacked following the Merseyside derby draw. Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who left Real Madrid in May, was also linked with the vacancy but the Italian ruled himself out.
Regarded as one of the top coaches in Europe, he is already being viewed by fans as a significant turning point in their fortunes. Klopp’s appointment immediately injects a feelgood factor into a club. Former Liverpool manager and now England boss Roy Hodgson offered Klopp his best wishes in his new job.
