Jurgen Klopp was loved by Liverpool fans for many reasons.

The German brought ‘heavy metal’ football to Liverpool and won every trophy possible during his reign, but the thing fans loved most about the legendary coach was his character.

Trent Alexander-Arnold labelled Klopp as ‘strange’ when he first arrived at Liverpool as he believed the 57-year-old was both intimidating and very welcoming at the same time.

Klopp arrived at Liverpool in 2015 and would have had to get used to some major differences in England having spent his entire coaching career in Germany.

One part of the English game the German coach found difficult was how close the technical areas were on the sideline and the 57-year-old was delighted when they were separated further at Anfield during the early phase of his Liverpool career.

Speaking to Soccer AM during his early Liverpool days, Klopp opened up about this and explained why he found it to be a ‘difficult’ situation.

It’s kind of part of the show I think that we are so close.

“During the game, you both are so involved, it’s difficult not to get in contact and getting in contact during a game between managers is not a good thing because we are not all in our best and most friendly mood.”

This led to some heated moments on the sideline for Klopp during his Liverpool career, with everyone remembering his clash with Sean Dyche back in 2021.

For five consecutive years under Klopp, between 2016/17 and 2020/21, Liverpool topped the Premier League Fair Play table each season, which shows the respect the Reds had for their opponents during the German’s time at Anfield.

However, on the sidelines, Klopp would see his fair share of bookings and nearly missed his final game for Liverpool after receiving a two-match ban for comments he made about referee Paul Tierney after a win over Tottenham.
