Klopp doppelganger is often stopped and asked for photos since buying LFC coat

A lifelong Liverpool FC fan is stopped on the street daily due to his uncanny resemblance to LFC manager Jürgen Klopp.

Arthur Rizzotti has said that people have been stopping him on a regular basis ever since he bought a coat that resembles Klopp's black puffer coat with the LFC crest emblazoned on it. The 58-year-old said he gets stared and pointed at whenever he goes shopping with his wife, Elsa Quinn-Rizzotti, 45, and people stop him and ask for photographs.

The floor fitter leaves customers speechless when he knocks on their door before they quickly realise it isn't the German manager after all but the person who is there to replace their carpet. Arthur, from Runcorn, is flattered whenever he is compared to the charismatic and adored Liverpool manager.
