The impact Jurgen Klopp has had at Liverpool cannot be underestimated.
Arriving at the club in October 2015 following the dismissal of Brendan Rodgers, the German took over a Reds side that had finished sixth in the Premier League the previous season and were a considerable distance away from being title challengers. A 1-1 draw away to Everton proved to be Rodgers' final game in charge of the team, leaving Liverpool on the lookout for a new manager.
Carlo Ancelotti and Klopp were listed as two of the frontrunners following FSG's decision to cut ties with a coach that had come agonisingly close to delivering a long-awaited top-flight title during the 2013/14 season, in what would prove to be a pivotal moment in the club's history.
