Jürgen Klopp

[Marina]

I was more nervous about getting fourth when we lost to Chelsea than after losing the CL final. Lol. I was inconsolable after losing the league title from our grasps in 2014. This doesn't even register on that scale.

When does pre season start? Can't wait to see Keita and the other signings we will inevitably make.

I feel the same way about those previous failures. Another way of looking at it is we are simply jaded by years of coming up just short but no I genuinely think we are in a good place, and momentum is very much on our side.

[Fredo]

We have momentum but we need to turn these close calls into winning ones now. You can easily end up perennial losers if you're not careful.

The league or the CL would do nicely next season. Sacrifice the local cups and bed in young players.

[Buzzo]

We have a full house of runners up in our last 4 finals.

FA Cup 2012 1-2 Chelsea
League Cup 2016 1-1 City lost on pens
Europa League Final 2016 1-3 Sevillla
Champions League Final 2018 1-3 Real.

Hopefully that complete set means we can start again and win a few.

Add to that list runners-up in the league in 2014.

And the Audi Cup.

**** me that’s depressing. Least we are getting to finals i spose.

Klopp have been voted the "best (current) manager in the world" by 248 Bundesliga players answering anonymously. The percentages were:

Jürgen Klopp - 35.7%

Pep Guardiola - 31.1%

Zinedine Zidane - 10.9%

Jupp Heynckes - 10.9%

The most pressing issue reading this is: where is Hodgson?

Bundesliga / Klopp

Not exactly without bias is it?

[Darkon]

Likely not considering 3/4 managers have been there, but still beating Guardiola and Heynckes is pretty good going considering what they also achieved in the Bundesliga.

Hope he's not tempted by the RM job, he's their number 1 target

I would have thought winning 3 CL's in a row would have made Zidane's job safe even at Real.

Erm, he's just quit

[BigChief]

Zidane is no manager, it showed over the league campaign. He's a brilliant player that his the perfect storm of fluke and jam in Europe.

If Zidane moves to England I can guarantee he would struggle to finish top 5 unless it was to City.

Doh!!! At least tell me he gave Sergio one of his signature headbutts before he left.....

He won the champions league 3 years in a row which isn't too shabby.
