In a pre-match interview ahead of his side’s game against Brighton, the Liverpool coach was asked whether he considers himself as the world’s best manager.

“No, of course not. I’m not,” he told Sky Sports. “I know my struggles, I know my problems.”

The Reds boss continued with his humble response by adding: “Whatever it means to be the best manager, I don’t know exactly. I’m nothing without my coaches around me and I don’t want to be.

“For me [the best in the world] it’s Pep Guardiola. He’s just really difficult to play against.”

Klopp and Guardiola are battling to win the Premier League again as the English top-flight keeps getting haunted by their exceptional managerial qualities.
