Former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has labelled Reds manager Jurgen Klopp "the best coach in the world."
The Slovakian spent eight years at Anfield between 2008 and 2016 before joining Fenerbahce.
He only overlapped briefly with Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers in October 2015.
But Skrtel, now at Istanbul Basaksehir, has waxed lyrical about Klopp's ability to motivate the defending European champions, who are now in the box seat to win the 2019-20 Premier League, per Turkish publicationAA (h/t James Westwood of Goal):
"Liverpool has the best coach in the world and the best players in their respective positions, which include [Mohamed] Salah, [Sadio] Mane and [Virgil] van Dijk.
