Jürgen Klopp Basic Information

Jürgen Klopp Biography

Jürgen Norbert Klopp is a retired footballer of German provenance who now leads the English Premiership side Liverpool Football Club as manager. He has done so well as a coach that his name is peddled around as one of the best in the game.

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Klopp had a father who was an amateur football, so it was easy to decide to walk the same path, albeit professionally. As a young man, his dream was not only to become a great footballer but a great manager as well.

But dreams are just that – dreams. Without effort, they might not be achieved. He believed in his dreams enough to put in the work. In the intervening years, he was not only able to achieve his dream of being a fine footballer, but he also accomplished that of being a great coach.

Throughout his career, both as a footballer and a coach, he has had losses and victories but holds the verdict that a loss is nothing more than a stepping stone.

“It’s not a problem that you lose. The problem is how long it takes to win”
