Jurgen Klopp is 'perfect man' for Liverpool manager's job - Ian Ayre

Liverpool chief executive officer Ian Ayre has hailed the club's appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager one year on and believes the German is the "perfect man" for the job.

Saturday marks exactly one year since Klopp took charge at Anfield after he replaced the sacked Brendan Rodgers midway through the 2015-16 campaign.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss guided the Reds to two cup finals in his first season in charge and the team currently sit just two points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

"Whatever happens on the football pitch in the future only time will tell, but I don't think you could pick a better character to fit this club," Ayre told the Daily Express.
