'What drives Jürgen Klopp, what is the secret of his success and how did he become a top coach?' Elmar Neveling's book gives all the answers

Updated to include Klopp&rsquo;s final season at Anfield 
 
&quot;It is the intensity of the football, of how the people live football in Liverpool, all the Liverpool fans around the world. It is not a normal club, it is a special club.&quot; Jürgen Klopp 
 
Jürgen Klopp&rsquo;s decision to leave Liverpool after nine incredible years shocked the football community. His tactical acumen, motivational skills and ability to develop young talent were instrumental in Liverpool's resurgence as a top team in English and European football. 
 
Before disrupting the game in England, the extraordinary manager had single-handedly overthrown the accepted order in the German league, taking Borussia Dortmund from nowhere to back-to-back Bundesliga titles. Then, in 2019, he cemented his name in the history books by returning Liverpool to Champions League glory, ending the club's 14-year wait for a major European trophy. Klopp was the mastermind behind Liverpool&rsquo;s Premier League title in the 2019-2020 season, a welcome return to the very heights of top flight football that saw his position as a Liverpool legend well and truly cemented in club history. 
 
Long after his departure, Klopp will continue to be revered as a master tactician with his own unique playing philosophies. His legacy among his players will be his passion and man-management skills, and he will forever be adored by fans for his charm, wit and thrilling football on the pitch. 
 
This is the definitive celebration of Jürgen Klopp, his down-to-earth nature and his footballing genius.
