Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was named FIFA Men’s Coach of the year for the second year in a row during The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in Zurich on Thursday evening.
The Reds boss edged out Marcelo Bielsa and Hansi Flick to retain the award, and it was something he didn’t expect to win.
Klopp felt that Flick deserved to win the award after he guided Bayern Munich to a historic treble last season – German Cup, Bundesliga and the Champions League.
The Reds boss has also showered high praise for Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, adding that it is an honour to be mentioned along with these managers, and winning it makes it even special.
