After becoming the European and World champions, Jurgen Klopp is now the Premier League champion, helping Liverpool win the title after a 30-year wait. The German coach has helped the red half of the English port city turn dreams into reality, with the most noble titles along with the position of a force.
With what he has done, Klopp has been awarded the "Best Coach" award by the British Professional Coaches Association (LMA) - a noble title named after a legend of foggy country football, Sir Alex Ferguson - Sir Alex Ferguson Trophy.
The achievements and what the Reds have shown are too impressive for the 53-year-old coach to surpass other candidates such as Leeds United's Marcelo Bielsa, Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe) and last year's winner Chris Wilder (Sheffield United) to be honored.
After hearing the news of the victory, the former Borussia Dortmund coach called Sir Alex at... 3 am to report the news. In his message, Sir Alex gave wings to Klopp: Jurgen, this is amazing. We talk about Leeds with 16 years of playing in the Championship, but for Liverpool with 30 years since the last championship, it is unbelievable.
"Always worth it, Liverpool's classy performance was excellent. Jurgen's personality has spread to every corner of the team.
I will forgive him for waking me up at 3:30 am to say I won. In every aspect, Jurgen is completely deserving".
The Liverpool captain recalled meeting Sir Alex for the first time and said he could not have imagined receiving the award named after the man who had been honored by the LMA five times.
I am very happy to receive this wonderful trophy, it is really wonderful, Jurgen Kloop shared on Sky Sports News. I have seen previous winners, with very, very big names in Liverpool such as Bill Shankly, Bob Praisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, Brendan.
The award's name is Sir Alex Ferguson and I know it's not 100% suitable for Liverpool, but I admire him.
Sir Alex was the first coach I met, when we had breakfast together. I'm not sure he remembers, but I still remember him, because that was a moment for me, when you met someone you wanted to meet the most. From the first moment, we were really in harmony.
After the Alex Ferguson Trophy, Klopp still has the opportunity to be honored by the Premier League Organizing Committee to announce the title of "Best Coach" in early August.
