In October 2015, German coach Klopp accepted an invitation from Liverpool in the Premier League to become the team's manager. At the time, he promised to bring a major trophy to Liverpool in his fourth year. In their first season in charge of Liverpool, the Reds managed to reach successive cup finals, namely the English League Cup final and the Europa League final, but unfortunately lost to Manchester City and Sevilla, the king of the Europa League, and did not qualify for the championship. Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool has made significant progress and reforms, and it was Klopp who gave hope to all Reds fans around the world.
After drugging the squad and signing goalkeeper Alisson and centre-back Van Dijk, Liverpool's overall strength has improved significantly, from the lack of Qualification for the Champions League in previous years to the top four of the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, Liverpool began the journey of recovery. In the 2017-2018 season, Klopp led the team to reach the Champions League final for the second time in thirteen years, but still lost in the final and lost to the Champions League king Real Madrid. The 2018-2019 season can be said to be the beginning of Liverpool's full recovery, when Liverpool finished second in the Premier League with 97 points, becoming the runner-up with the highest score in Premier League history, and defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final to win the title.
In the 2019-2020 season, just as European football matches were affected by the new crown epidemic, Liverpool still maintained a heroic state, and finally won the first Premier League title in the team's history with 99 points. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool won the Premier League championship by eighteen points. In the following two years, Liverpool have transformed into a favourable competitive team in the Premier League and even the Champions League, and the front-line tridents Salah, Mane and Firmino are credited, but Klopp is the driving force behind Liverpool's revival. Klopp has been in charge of the Reds for seven years and has won all the top cups, including the Premier League, FA Cup, English League Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
However, entering the 2022-2023 season, Liverpool's performance and results were not satisfactory, and in the six rounds of the new season, Liverpool only achieved two wins, three and one loss, including three consecutive away games, becoming the team's worst season start in the past twelve years, while only nine points after six rounds, which is also a new low in Klopp's coaching career in the Reds. Liverpool sold Mane this season and left Salah behind, which made the fans realize that Mane was better than Salah. The serious shortage of people in the midfield made the stubborn Klopp change his mouth and finally admit that the team must buy people.
Coincidentally, Klopp's past coaching experience has not stood up to the "seven-year itch". In 2001, Klopp was appointed manager of The Bundesliga team Mainz, successfully assisting the team in relegation, and in 2004 successfully entered the Bundesliga. Although the team was relegated after three years of playing in the Bundesliga, Klopp chose to stay. In 2007, Klopp was poached by Borussia Dortmund and transferred to become the manager of the Bee Corps. Klopp coached in Mainz for about seven years and four months.
Coming to Borussia Dortmund, as was the case with Liverpool, Klopp had to go through a transition period of rebuilding the team before leading the team to its peak. In the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga title for two consecutive years and reached the Champions League final in the 2012-2013 season, only to lose to Bayern Munich. This defeat caused Dortmund to decline across the board until 2015, when Klopp announced his departure from Dortmund, when the team could only finish the season in seventh place in the league, and coincidentally, Klopp spent seven years in Dortmund.
Since 2015, it happens to be Klopp's seventh year in charge of Liverpool, and as the state of this season declines, fans seem to have seen Klopp-style from reconstruction to glory to depravity, which happens to be the seventh year of coaching the team.
