Jürgen Klopp expressed his pride at being named Best FIFA Men's Coach for the second year in a row and insisted it is a prize won collectively by his staff and players.
The Liverpool boss edged out Marcelo Bielsa and Hansi Flick to retain the annual accolade, which was announced during The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in Zurich on Thursday evening.
It came as recognition of a period that saw Klopp lead the Reds to three trophies as the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup were followed by the Premier League title in the summer.
