Jurgen Klopp

Product Information

Piqued by a cup defeat to Bayern Munich while at Dortmund, having beaten them in recent encounters, Klopp accused his rivals of co-opting his tactics. At the other end Klopp takes them from relative anonymity (nothing like the 1950s) to become World, European and English Champions. Success and rebuilding may take time and patience; in the meantime here is the definitive story of Jurgen Klopp and his footballing genius. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh the interests of the parties concerned.

The rather unromantic story is mirrored in the treatment of Klopp - the lack of player interviews means that the biography is not very personal, however I found the appendix interviews with a life coach and brand expert surprisingly interesting, and crucially less sycophantic. my biggest gripe with the book is that the final 1/3 is no more than a summary of liverpool seasons under klopp, considering the target audiance for this book is liverpoll/football fans the ending seemed unneccessary. By his own admission, too, Klopp wasn’t particularly noteworthy in his playing days, making up with dogged perseverance what he lacked in ability. A book published in Germany in 2011 Echte Liebe ( Real Love) brought Klopp’s achievements with Borussia Dortmund into some kind of focus, but landed between back-to-back Bundesliga titles. I have written 7 other books including: FC Barcelona: A Tactical Analysis - Attacking and Defending.Jürgen successfully managed German teams Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund to multiple victories, and then became the manager of Liverpool Football Club. Reading this reinforced that an autobiography is far more interesting as you get to see inside the mind of the subject rather than getting an observer's, irrespective of how close, perspective in a biography.

It lacks the access to a wide variety of key figures that the outstanding biographies have in abundance, aside from a couple of brief interviews with a few friends and some journalists (journalists interviewing journalists is a pet peeve). This FULL COLOUR book provides you with a rare and great opportunity to use 102 Jürgen Klopp Practices and learn from one of the best coaches in world football.Reflecting the in-progress nature of Klopp’s professional life, the author never quite gets a full grip on his subject.

It is not a biography of Klopp, though reference is frequently made to key moments in the great German manager's life and career. More importantly, he definitely knows how to efficiently stack a dishwasher and would tell you honestly if you were being unreasonable about a colleague. Very engaging read and am pleased to say it confirmed my initial impressions of the man from his media profile - genuine, charismatic, and a motivating leader of men.You could see what he is doing with the clubs he manages and you can get a better perspective on his tactics.

This was a good read as I got to learn about Klopp's history, his time at Mainz as a player and coach.
