Jurgen Klopp is perfect for Liverpool, insists former CEO Christian Purslow as he says boss is under 'no pressure' to bring silverware to Anfield

Jurgen Klopp is the perfect manager to help Liverpool fulfil their ambitions on the pitch despite not being able to match the spending power of the Premier League's richest sides, former chief executive Christian Purslow has said.

The German's success over seven years at Borussia Dortmund, where he challenged the dominance of Bayern Munich, prompted Liverpool's American owners Fenway Sports Group to hire him to spearhead their project.

Twice a Bundesliga champion with Borussia Dortmund, who he also guided to the 2013 Champions League final, Klopp is yet to win a major trophy at the Anfield club but Purslow said he was under no pressure from the hierarchy.
