Jürgen Norbert Klopp (German pronunciation: [ˈjʏɐ̯ɡən ˈklɔp]; born 16 June 1967) is a German football manager and former professional player who is the current manager of Premier League club Liverpool.
Klopp spent most of his 15-year playing career at Mainz 05, before going on to become their longest-serving manager from 2001 to 2008, during which time they achieved promotion to the Bundesliga. In 2008, Klopp joined Borussia Dortmund, leading them to back-to-back Bundesliga wins in 2011 and 2012, as well as the DFB-Pokal in 2012, the DFL-Supercup in 2013 and 2014, and their second appearance in a UEFA Champions League final in 2013. Klopp won the German Football Manager of the Year in 2011 and 2012, before leaving Dortmund in 2015 having also become their longest-serving manager. He became manager of Liverpool in October 2015.
Klopp was born in Stuttgart, the state capital of Baden-Württemberg, and grew up in the countryside, in the Black Forest village of Glatten near Freudenstadt, with two older sisters. He started playing for TuS Ergenzingen as a junior player, with the next stint at 1. FC Pforzheim and then at three Frankfurt clubs, Eintracht Frankfurt II, Viktoria Sindlingen and Rot-Weiss Frankfurt, during adolescence. In 1990, in the play-off matches with Rot-Weiss Frankfurt against Mainz 05 for the promotion to the 2. Bundesliga, he caught the attention of the Mainz manager and was signed by them the same summer.
