Anything but normal: Klopp makes special first impression at Liverpool

The former Borussia Dortmund coach gave a captivating performance at his unveiling and if the early indications are anything to go by, he will be a huge hit at Anfield.

At 8.30 a.m. the Reds Lounge in Anfield’s Centenary Stand was already swarming. Every section packed, every plug point taken, every attendee eager to assess whether the perception and reality aligned. Jurgen Klopp insisted he was 'The Normal One' at his first press conference as Liverpool manager, but the evidence suggested otherwise.

He had the media pack completely affixed to his every answer. Energetic and unscripted, he approached each question with ease and intelligence in equal measure.
