He took charge of Liverpool last season and we have already seen a huge change in the style of Liverpool's game. Liverpool are currently 3rd in the English Premier League with a game in hand.

Speaking on the similarities between Liverpool and Dortmund, Klopp said: "I am not sure I should compare but it is another nice situation if you want. It is cool. It is not the same, but it is similar to what we had at Dortmund.

"I am still in contact with a lot of the Dortmund players and hopefully I will be contact after my time at Liverpool with these players because they are nice lads.

"That is first of all. But they are not here because they are nice lads, they are outstanding footballers I love working with them and really appreciate them."
