Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel have had remarkably similar careers, to the point they have almost become entwined.
Neither was a superstar player and both started their managerial careers with spells at Mainz and then Borussia Dortmund.
They are among a select group of 11 men who have steered at least two different clubs to the final of the European Cup/Champions League, and the list of German managers in the Premier League is an even shorter one.
