'Klopp is Shankly reincarnated in a German body' - Grobbelaar pays glowing tribute to Liverpool boss

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is club legend Bill Shankly "reincarnated in a German body", according to Bruce Grobbelaar.

Klopp joined up with the Reds back in 2015, replacing Brendan Rodgers in the hot seat, following a hugely successful seven-year spell at Westfalenstadion with Borussia Dortmund.

The 52-year-old has since transformed Liverpool into genuine Premier League title contenders, but was made to wait for his first piece of silverware with the club after overseeing three successive final defeats.
