Jurgen Klopp Managerial Timeline

Jurgen Klopp has agreed a three-year deal to become the new manager of Liverpool, and he will be presented to the media tomorrow morning.

But why all the fuss for Klopp? Check out our video (above) of the 48-year-old's managerial career, from Mainz to Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool.

Klopp joined Borussia Dortmund in 2008, and lead the club to back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012.

The defender Mats Hummels, who played under Klopp at Dortmund, has described the manager as someone who "eats, lives, breathes, thinks football."

"There’s no doubt he’s a fantastic coach and when people put their mind to the question of ‘what does he do post-Dortmund?’ then clubs like Liverpool naturally come into the equation.

"He eats, lives, breathes and thinks football day after day and is a fantastic addition to any team. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for him in his next venture."
