Ilkay Gundogan has recalled the blazing row he had with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund which ended with his old manager shouting: “Do whatever the f*ck you want to do!”.
Klopp, who enjoyed great success in charge at Dortmund between 2008 and 2015, signed Gundogan from Nurnberg in the summer of 2011, with the midfielder then quickly becoming a mainstay in his set-up.
The two men enjoyed a strong relationship as Dortmund challenged Bayern Munich’s domestic dominance and fought for success in the Champions League, but didn’t always see eye to eye on the training pitch.
