We all know how Jurgen Klopp has turned Liverpool FC into a behemoth of a football club, and how he broke Bayern Munich’s monopoly of German football with his Borussia Dortmund team. But little is known about his origins at Mainz.
How he was thrust into a team without a manager, how he made a relegation favourite of the second tier into a Bundesliga competitor, and how he reinvented the german-footballing-style.
This is the story of Jurgen Klopp at Mainz, told by Seb Stafford-Bloor. Illustrated by Alice Devine.

#Klopp #Mainz #Liverpool - กีฬา
As someone working for Mainz 05, I'm beyond grateful for this little tribute to Klopp and the city of Mainz. He is more than just a manager for us, he's part of the modern history of our beloved city.
Thats sick to work at football club
Hey man! You work at Mainz right? I had a few questions I wanna ask :) Could I contact you privately?
I work in Mainz06
Thank you for producing this amazing manager.
@@bananacheesecake6821 Sure :)
When I met him California in 2016 during a training session, I told him this: 'You are the best thing to happen to Liverpool since Steven Gerrard debut'd in 1998.' He smiled. We'll be forever grateful, Jurgen :)
Awesome! And so true!
Cool story bro:)
"trust me bro" story

@@R3in_Ch tbh id rather just tell the celebrity than be another tool just trying to get pictures for socials
World class manager and an even better human being. True Legend.
Not sure about a better human being.
@@matitolera8159 Each to their own.
As a United fan, I'm not sure what irks me more, the fact that Klopp has made Liverpool winners again, or that hes so damn likeable! Dalglish Gerrard etc are easy to hate. Klopp? Not so much.
@@nevilleneville6518 Plastic
@@nevilleneville6518 why is Gerrard easy to hate?
I would also like to see a part 2 of this where they discuss about his accomplishments at Dortmund and his subsequent departure to Liverpool.. ❤️
I think the point of the video is giving you context as to how he came to prominence across all European football. 90% of people know Jurgen klopp from Dortmund and beyond
I would like it too
The Rafa Honnegstein biography that they mentioned above does this well (into the first two years at LFC), though obvs not as immediate as a 6 min video (!). Worth a read regardless.
@@Aaron19987 Yes John.. I agree with you there.. They just wanted to focus on the emergence. Nevertheless, anything on this man would be as entertaining and enriching as ever. Great coach, a great man, all in all a champion! ✨❤️
Hear hear. I have watched many docus of Jurgen but I'd like to see Tifo's take on the Dortmund (and beyond) years. I AM an Athletic subscriber btw
Klopp will go down in the history books for his accomplishments against pep’s city team. The fact he made Liverpool challengers and pushed City all the way on several occasions is immensely impressive!
Absolutely, without city,he would have won the league many times
Look at the players who have developed from middling to greatness under him Robertson , taa , Henderson
@@arpangupta76 man, I agree on the rest, but as for TAA he hit the first team after Klopp's arrival at 16... There's not much of a "before Klopp TAA"!
That too on a shoestring budget
@@AllanDawnsun HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
One of the best managers in the world, took Liverpool to the top won everything and his tactics are so on point with the squad. Very passionate about the game truly a genius.
😂😂won once and already given up on everything else already 😂😂
Jurgen flopp
@@thomasrockbottom2907 Man City are out of the Carabao Cup and lost to a managerless Leipzig in the CL.
@@blockcitywarsguide4894 He won a UCL, cry about it.
Dude I m a barca fan seeing him hurt my soul to the every bit but I respect him because he deserves for what he achieved
I can't even imagine the day he leaves us, we'll never have a coach like him.
Acting like he made Liverpool but the. Again you might be a young fan
@@adrianfernand33s tone down the sass and bitterness mate. Sometimes you gotta let loose a bloke's romanticism.
@@Dz73zxxx , what are you on, Liverpool is a big club, and I respect Klopp. I'm just saying Liverpool were bigger before he even came in. Klopp is my favourite manager and im manc
@@Dz73zxxx Plus i didnt mean to come across as that as well, if i did i apologize to my guy
you dont have to imagine it because its going to happen a lot sooner than you think. Here's a tip: the replacement will be Gerrard.
Back in 2015 there were two options as to which manager Liverpool would sign, Klopp or Ancellotti.
I thought Ancellotti would be a better signing but how wrong I was, and I am glad I was proved wrong by Klopp. Now I can't imagine anyone else rather then Klopp being in the front seat. Much love ❤️
Same here.
I always wanted Klopp, Dortmund are pretty much the German Liverpool. They even sing YNWA
@@teddypicker8799 As does Mainz
@@teddypicker8799 and both don’t win anything
@@andrei19238 Dortmund won league titles. Mainz won their first ever promotion to Buds.
A testament to Klopp is even Everton fans and United fans (as I am) cant find anything to criticise. World class manager.
Mainz and Borussia Dortmund have made the two best coaches ITW
Klopp and Tuchel
As Man Utd fan, I love Klopp. I love his style. Personality. Coaching. Use to watch Dortmund teams so attractive to watch. Always wanted him to come to Man Utd but didn't happen and will never will 😓
More than just a good coach, He is a good human being. Football can use a good amount of passionate people like him. KLOPP is a human form of football passion. Love this man
"Klopp is a human form of football passion"
Well said 👏
I've never met Jürgen but he's up there with my mom and dad.
Bro seriously...
😂
Stories of managers who rose from the trenches like Klopp, Alex Ferguson, or Arrigo Sacchi are always fascinating
Jürgen Klopp is an admirable manager due to his love of the game, and not only because he enables us 'football romantics' but because he even rewards us. The man has many good quotes to his name, yet one of my favorite quotes has to be something similar to; "Whenever the team does well, they have earned the credit. Whenever the team fails, the blame is exclusively on me." That quote and philosophy shows not only maturity, but an understanding and fondness of the collective.
Klopp is a gem. Were blessed to have him at Liverpool!
To anyone who enjoyed this, you should read Rafa H's biography called Klopp: Bring the noise. One of the best biographies I've ever read, can't recommend it enough
thanks ill check it out, i have one for you too check this one out - Clough: The Autobiography
Agreed. I read the biography last year and found it a very good book.
He is the man of the people I can't even imagine how Liverpool fans will react when he leaves
We will be very sad
What's impressing me more with Klopp now is that until Liverpool, he'd never had success with a squad and then refreshed that squad and had more success. With Jota, Konate and Luis Diaz coming in, that appears to be happening.
Just when you thought you couldn't love a man any more! Thank you for being you Jurgen. Don't ever change!
Certified _Mensch_ and, in my view, the best football manager in the world. Building a team to beat the mighty _Bayern_ to the league title and developing players to eventually lead _LFC_ to the recent major triumphs domestically and internationally are feats upon which every honest fan of the sport should look with the utmost respect and admiration. I would go as far as to say no other manager would have won what he has with the squads he has. Player-for-player _Klopp's_ triumphs have come despite his not having the strongest squads at his disposal.
His preferred brand of football is so physically taxing, however, that I hope he continues on the current course to refresh the core squad. We have a world-beating first-XI, but need genuine strength in depth. *Boom!*
*_YN❤WA_*
That was just beautiful. Please make a part 2 with Dortmund and Liverpool.
Klopp currently has a 100% success rate at becoming a legend in every club he managed
as klopp is going 7 years as a liverpool manager this coming october. He has inspired me to be a better human. I have grown to be a better friend, better younger brother to my schizophrenic sister, better colleague, better son. He has been an exemplary role model.
The greatest quality I like about Klopp is he makes football simple & great to watch. His tactics are never negative & his type of football is never boring. It's always attack no matter what the situation. The other interesting thing is that every opponent coaches & players know what Klopp is going to play against them. It's gegen pressing & still they can't defeat his system. Many a team park the bus against his gegen pressing & still suffer. For me Klopp is the best. Iam not a tiki taka type of fan so though I respect Pep for his success I still prefer Klopp's gegenpressing.
One of a kind manger, coach and person by all accounts. Regardless of what happens between now and when he decides his time at Liverpool is done, regardless of how many or how few trophies come in the door, I intend on enjoying every minute of it.
He's a fantastic manager, and he'll be beloved wherever he goes because he has a Shankly-level of understanding about how important the fans are to the game.
But I appreciate him most because he seems like a good, decent man.
Kloop is a legend and a decent human being... he's the type of person you could sit in a pub with and watch a game....
Easily the best Liverpool FC signing in the last 30 years
A team that coached itself, damn
I'm a United fan but i can't help but to love this man. Amazing coach, legend in the making!
In the making? His statue has already been commissioned!
The making of Jurgen Klopp: I'm pretty sure mummy Klopp and daddy Klopp had something to do with it - job done.
The excitement level is same as it was at klopp's first day at Liverpool, he has given us very very exciting football, trophies and many memorable moments. Thank you Klopp.
All hail the greatest manager of the world, the manager can make any game the final game, the gagan style manager who cannot be replicated, i would be sad when he will leave Liverpool, ynwa one of the best manager
Great story. Great art. Cheers, Tifo. Very much enjoyed this
I loved all the splashes of black, red and gold color sprinkled through the video, it looked so nice!!
Every football fan agree
He is a good human being
I might be a man city fan and would always herald pep guardiola as the greatest coach in the last 15 years but Jurgen klopp would remain my favorite . I love the man!
I do like that pep and Jurgen respect and like each other.
The man just oozes class. Absolute legend.
Over twenty years of coaching, and Klopp is only at this 3rd club! That’s pretty amazing! And every club loves him, he was celebrated like the hero he is when he left Mainz and Dortmund.
A part 2 is needed
You have to make a Part 2 lads!
Absolute legend everywhere he goes. Class act.
I'd love to see you guys do a "What's Going On in the PL in 5 minutes" type of vid. quick summary of the current season
Should make a part II about his Dortmund days. I want a Klopp hug
Feel very lucky to follow this man's side tbh, long live Klopp
Please in need of a Part 2
Topic video: What makes Germany having the best coaches in the world so far?
My favourite manager! So hyped to watch this
This was great. Will there be a part 2?
Maybe if he wins the champions League this season 😂😂
Or else the premier League oooops
I'm a huge Liverpool fan, I'm a huge Klopp fan and I'm also a fan of this channel and the podcast. This is perfect for me.
We need PART 2
To sumarise: Klopp got a break at Mainz, and following that he was offered the chance by Dortmund which is a sink or swim outcome in regards to football management, but then again, German football is less ruthless when giving the so called rookie managers a shot a the big time compared to English football - where usually you wouldn't even get that chance.
At Dortmund, he did more than swim, he took them back to the top and challenging and would've even gone further hadn't it been for Bayern Munich's overall power in the German league and the fact Guardiola was his direct rival who was regarded as the best in the world at the time.
He realised he couldn't take Dortmund any further and ended his stay amicably - taking a short well earned break.
Liverpool came calling, which at the time was perfect timing for both parties, and what was regarded as a perfect fit, with both dortmund and liverpool sharing many things in common and not just in footballing terms. The cities, the working class, political views, underdog status etc were all similar traits from both sides so Klopp had very little adapting to do and his only obstacle was the language barrier and his premier league inexperience.
Liverpool fans took to him immediately and were willing to give more time than they wouldve to a manager such as hodgson or rodgers but Klopp showed within 1 year how he wanted to shape the club and how we were going to get back to the top. Klopp has to fight against the power of man city and guardiola which he hasnt shyed away from and some would argue that he has the upper hand in that rivalry when it comes to direct competition, as proven in the league games and champions league games.
Klopps passion and understanding of all clubs he has worked at, is a testament to his own personality which shows in how his teams play. He is one of the best in world football and no one can deny this. The only question that hangs in the balance would be if his management style would work at power hungry clubs such as madrid, barca, man utd, bayern and psg.
If he was to leave liverpool for a new challenge then i think the perfect fit would be atletico madrid or ac milan.
Insightful! 😌
His journey has to be a documentary
If he retired, Liverpool would certainly built a statue or even renaming one of their stand as his name.
Sometimes i wonder, does universe works also by the law of "one's will destined for greatness"?
Seeing klopp in liverpool is just...something celestial. In times when liverpool need a man to carry their torch, this german gaffer unexpectedly carried it and place it again into the glory cauldron....
Your narration skills are remarkably astonishing
You see, there are interesting parallels everywhere Klopp has been in his football manager career.
People liked him, his clubs were successful after a tedious building period and when he inevitably will be leaving, people want to build him a monument. ❤
What a beautiful story.
Brilliant manager, and one of my next video topics as well. Loved the animations ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Looking forward to it
Your channel is a criminally underrated gold mine! Love from Morocco ❤️❤️
🔥🔥
If I had a time machine and go back to 2013. I would choose Klopp over Pep all day for Man Utd. Sure Pep is a genius and is a better coach. But Klopps chaotic high pressing football is much more entertaining and he is a very charismatic man
This video's like watching magic - just mesmerising
Story narration supreme.
Jürgen Klopp. What a man ❤
Everywhere klopp coachrd he was cheered and applauded by the fans. Same will happen in liverpool. The best career some one could ask for.
The rest as we know, ladies and gentlemen, is history.
Kloppo. What a legend 🙏🏾🐐
Pt 2!!!!
Can we have sequel to this video please? 🙏
Well, Joe said at the beggining this would be fascinating and... Promise delivered!
Can you please make a video on Klopps Legacy at BVB because they are still dominating to this day
When he leaves Liverpool, the city will shut down. I’m in India and I’ll be in tears.
When he eventually leaves Liverpool I'll cry. Couldn't find a more perfect coach for Liverpool.
Best manager in recent years 🐐
Jurgen handing out beers from the team coach to fans the other night, just shows how much of a legend he really is.
YNWA¬
Who sat in the tifo studio and thought ", you know what, I think that Klopp video really needs a jazz backing track" ??? 🤨😀
THE GOAT is his spirit animal
World class manager. Can you make a video about tuchel
World class manager!
LEGEND
As a United fan I respect his professionalism and adore his personality.
Absolute legend. YNWA
TQVM Tifo The content already clear out the doubters by many opposition fans especially from Varchester United that hype of Klopp been the understudy from Ralf "the Gegen Depressing" Rangsick before which is an ongoing false information about the matter.
What a story! Funny how life works sometimes
First, also the artwork and animation is fantastic in this video
English media's godfather of German football : Ralf Rangnick
The real godfather of German football: Wolfgang Frank. RIP.
We need part 2 part 3 part 4 etc of klopp
Klopp is a top manager
Jurgen Klopp is my spirit animal
Love klopp thanks for the happy times YNWA
Best entertaining manager
Legend
somebody please tell me ,how these animated videos are been created? which software or site. Please help me
The last coach to outscore Bayern Munich, absolute legend.
class
Now today he's left😢💔
But Utd fans told us Rangnick taught Klopp everything he knows
Blame the media for their lazy reportage. I'm no journalist and even I know it's Wolfgang Frank, a point Jurgen made certain to hit on while they were peddling the misinformation.
By far the best manager in the world for me bcoz he didn’t solely depend on money for success
❤️🙌🏾 Klopp
