Klopp’s my high for Low
Boris Becker reckons it’s Jurgen Klopp’s destiny to become Germany boss one day – but only when he’s fed up winning trophies at club level.
Tennis legend Becker, 52, is a massive football fan and would love to see Klopp succeed Joachim Low one day but the good news for Liverpool is he thinks the German still has unfinished business at Anfield.
Becker said: “I would like Jurgen to come home to manage Germany one day and I’m not the only one.
“He would be a great coach for our country because he is someone who really gets his players to buy into what he’s attempting to do.
“Every German football fan is impressed with the job Klopp is doing at Liverpool.
“To see a German coach win the Champions League with one of England’s most famous clubs and now get so close to winning the Premier League as well is just fantastic.
“Klopp has made one of the world’s biggest clubs great again and I really hope that it ’s his destiny to manage Germany.
“Maybe that is a long time in the future though. Jurgen is still quite young and has the hunger to win many more trophies at Liverpool bef o re he goes into international football.
“Hopefully, when he has achieved all he wants in club football, it will be the time.”
Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer named Klopp as the perfect coach for the Bundesliga giants and Bayern fanatic Becker is in total agreement.
He said: “Liverpool have made the Premier League a one- team championship this season. To have another successful year a f ter winning the Champions League is a sign of what a great manager Klopp is.
“I am not surprised that Franz Beckenbauer said Klopp would be the perfect Bayern manager.
“The best managers don’t just win one big trophy, they get better and more successful every year. I don’t think he has ever been sacked, which is another tribute to his quality.”
