Jurgen Klopp has reflected that he will never disregard the moment he was informed that Liverpool were after his service.

The Reds were in a critical moment and had fallen off the radar after failing to win the Premier League the previous season, falling behind Manchester City by two points.

Klopp who was an influential name in the Bundesliga with Dortmund before his departure was then called to take over the affairs of the club; a name that cheered the heart of fans into believing once again.

“It made all the rest happen,” he said.

“I cannot forget the moment when I got the call from my agent that Liverpool is interested. And the feeling I had in that moment.

“I said it a couple of times, I was completely in a holiday mood; we were in Portugal, in Lisbon, with the family, both boys were with us. Ulla and I were sitting in an outside coffee bar.

“Actually I didn’t take a lot of phone calls in that time, it was like: ‘Come on, don’t bother me.’ But then I saw it and it was like I had a feeling it could be something interesting. So I take the phone and he tells me, and I felt the excitement inside.

But because of all the things I said before to my family, I couldn’t immediately say: ‘Yes! Let’s do it!’ I had to ask: ‘What’s your opinion?’ I still remember both boys were like: ‘Yes!’ We look at Ulla and she looked at all three of us: ‘Oh, it looks like the holiday is over!’

“It was just a really nice moment to have it together. There was nothing decided in that moment, it was not that I spoke to anybody else. We flew home, Mike Gordon called me then two days later, one day later, whatever. Then I flew over to New York and all that stuff.

“But this very first moment when I got aware of the interest of Liverpool was already pretty special. And from that moment on it got better and better.”

Today, October 8, 2020, is the fifth year of the German’s reign since he took over from Brendan Rodgers. He has been able to get the Premier League club on the top of the world, winning a Premier League trophy which has failed to be renewed for the past 30 years, a Champions League trophy two seasons ago, A Super Cup and Club World Cup trophy.

The former Dortmund manager has transformed the Anfield club into a competitive side and is cherished by his conduct on player transfers.

Jürgen Klopp agreed on a contract extension with the club until 2024, ensuring he will remain at the helm for a further four-and-a-half years.
