Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described Pep Guardiola as the best manager he has ever seen.
The two will lock horns on a top-table clash at Anfield today as they lead their unbeaten sides in a league match. Both sides have got 19 points and Liverpool’s inferior goal difference makes it drop to second.
“What he has been doing since he started his career as a manager, I never heard of something similar. People in Liverpool would say differently about big Bill Shankly and big Bob Paisley, but it is hard to compare eras as the times are completely different. But still doing the right things consistently is quality, obviously. He is the best manager in the world, no doubt about that. No doubt about that.” Klopp said of his competitor.
The duo did clash while at Bundesliga and Klopp has always given the Spaniard a run of his money and the clash at Anfield will provide another opportunity for the two managers to lock horns once more.
“People said he has always had better teams than I had, but I would not even compare myself with him. I see his teams playing and I know that is really exceptional. I see what he did in different teams. Yes, he had better teams, that is true, more experienced, Bayern, Barcelona, we don’t have to talk about that. The target for us is to come closer.” Klopp concluded.
