KLOPP’S TOP BOSS
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp was named the Premier League’s Manager of the Season yesterday after leading the club to their first top-flight title in 30 years.
Klopp’s side won 32 of their 38 league fixtures and amassed a club-record 99 points to seal the title with seven games to spare.
Klopp, 53, beat Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers and Sheffield United coach Chris Wilder to the award. The German won the Manager of the Month award five times last season, surpassing Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola’s four from the 2017-18 campaign.
Klopp was named League Managers’ Association boss of the year last month.
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, 21 – who provided 13 assists – was named Young Player of the Season on Friday.
