Sources close to The Mersey Juror have this morning confirmed, that Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp tops Fenway Sports Group’s hit list for the vacant manager’s position at Liverpool FC.
44 year old Klopp played 325 games for German club Mainz 05, scoring 52 goals before taking up the manager’s position in 2001. After taking the club to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history, he also qualified for the UEFA Cup in 2005, before being relegated in 2007. He remained manager for one more season before leaving to manage Borussia Dortmund in 2008
Klopp has won back to back league titles with Dortmund, taking it this season with two games to spare. As a young manager with plenty of character and passion to spare, he is seen as the perfect fit for Liverpool Football Club.
