Jürgen Klopp in numbers: The Germany coach’s stunning career at Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz

Jürgen Klopp has made history wherever he has gone as a coach. We crunch the most impressive numbers behind the career of the former Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz coach, who is now in charge of Germany and hoping to inspire them back to success.

 

1 – Klopp led Mainz into the Bundesliga for the first time in 2004 in his first coaching job, laying the foundations for the club to be the top-flight regulars they are today.

2 – He led Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012, making them a force in German football again, having taken charge of the Black and Yellows when they were in 13th place in 2007/08.

2 – Klopp was twice honoured as Best FIFA Football Coach (in 2019 and 2020), was voted German Football Manager of the Year three times (2011, 2012 and 2019) and was twice named Premier League Manager of the Season (in 2019/20 and 2021/22).

2.07 – Klopp’s points per match average at Liverpool was only ever bettered at Anfield by the legendary Kenny Dalglish.

4 – Klopp has guided a side to the final of the Champions League four times – three times with the Reds and once with Dortmund. Only former Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti has led a side to more finals.
