Jurgen Klopp has broken the record for the most Barclays Manager of the Month awards in a single season.

Klopp was voted the winner of the January 2020 prize and has now won the award an unprecedented five times this term, surpassing Pep Guardiola’s four from 2017/18.

 

 

Overall it is the eighth Barclays monthly award won by the 52-year-old, moving him level with Martin O’neil and Harry Redknapp. 

The German triumphed thanks to yet another flawless month as Liverpool extended their win streak to 15 matches. 

Victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United were among their five in January as Klopp's men increased their lead at the top of the table to 19 points, before extending it to 22 in Matchweek 25.
