With speculation mounting that Jurgen Klopp's reported move to Liverpool could be completed as soon as Friday, we take a look at what makes him one of the best managers in world football today.

The 2011/12 season in Germany was certainly his finest year at the helm of Borussia Dortmund as he completed the domestic double over rivals Bayern Munich.

However, it's not just his heroics at the helm of Dortmund that has brought him acclaim with fans around the globe.

In 2013 after being beaten in the German Cup final he said: "Bayern go about football in the same way that the Chinese go about industry. They look at what the others are doing and then they copy it with other people and more money. And then they overtake you."

This must have been a bitter pill to swallow, but instead of wallowing on the bitterness of being dominated by a cash rich club like Bayern in 2013, we instead must look at the moments that made him such a likable figure.
