Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has labelled Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as the best manager in the world, as reported by Sky Sports.
The two men have developed an intense rivalry in recent seasons due to their respective sides challenging for domestic and European silverware.
City secured the Premier League title last season, whilst Klopp’s Reds won the UEFA Champions League.
Klopp said:
I’m lucky that I can say that my teams were at least close to his teams because I’ve said a lot of times, I think he is the best manager in the world.
What he is doing with his team is incredible. The way they play, I really like to watch.
We respect each other lots but on the pitch we want to beat them, that’s normal.

There’s no doubt that both men are incredible at their jobs.
Klopp has a more intense style compared to the Spaniard, who is well known as a master technician and a perfectionist.
Some prefer one, whilst others prefer the other, but in the future, both will be looked back on as masters of their trade.
