'Best Manager In The World' Jurgen Klopp Should Get A Statue - Gerrard

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard said the club should begin work on a Jurgen Klopp statue when the Premier League is won.

Gerrard, who captained Liverpool in “The Miracle of Istanbul” when the Reds overturned a 3-0 first-half deficit against AC Milan to win the UEFA Champions League in 2005, said:

When you look at the scale of the job he’s done, for sure he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those iconic managers.

What you need to take into consideration is that when Jurgen took over Liverpool they weren’t close to being the best team in the country, they weren’t even in the top four.

To come to Liverpool when he did, get to the number of finals that he has, deliver the sixth European Cup and then deliver the first league title after 30 years…

For me, someone like Jurgen should be rewarded now. It seems like in football we often wait until people get older before their achievements are fully recognised.

But I know the owners of Liverpool won’t let that happen. When Jurgen delivers the league they should already be starting work on a statue of him.

Liverpool are just six points from a first Premier League title, and a first top-flight title since 1990, which will be the club’s 19th throughout their history, dating back to the first in 1901.

Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley have already been honoured, while a bust of founder John Houlding was installed in front of the Main Stand in 2018.

Sir Kenny Dalglish has also been honoured with his own stand, meaning the club’s three most successful managers already have a permanent place at the stadium.
