Jurgen Klopp has worked miracles since becoming Liverpool manager four years.
He has turned the Reds from an average team to arguably the best in Europe, cementing his reputation as one of the finest managers of his generation.
Klopp is known for his magnificent man management skills, but he is also capable of laying into his players, if required.
Speaking to France Football, Sadio Mane has perfectly likened his manager to a father figure at Anfield – one who you both adore and are scared of in equal measure:
His secret, I think, is to be the team’s dad. Between us, everything clicked straight away.
We all love him like a father and we fear him like one too. He takes up a lot of space in my life, and not just in football. He’s great as a person.
I trust him blindly, like most of the dressing room, I think.

Mane is spot on in his assessment of Klopp, with the 52-year-old finding the right balance between being incredibly close to his squad and demanding perfection.
Liverpool couldn’t be in better hands currently, with Klopp well on his way to becoming a Reds legend, if he isn’t already.
A Premier League title triumph next May would certainly end any of the debate surrounding that topic.
