Liverpool owner John W Henry says discovering that Jurgen Klopp was willing to discuss taking the reins at Anfield was “one of the most exciting phone calls” he has ever taken.
Back in October 2015, the Reds found themselves in need of a new manager as Brendan Rodgers was ushered through the exits.
It did not take long for Klopp to be identified as a top target by those at Anfield, with the charismatic German without a club at that stage having severed ties with Borussia Dortmund a few months earlier.
