'Best Coach in the World': Liverpool Boss Jurgen Klopp Heaps Praise on Man City’s Pep Guardiola
15:39 GMT 08.04.2022 (Updated: 11:44 GMT 10.12.2022) Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp and Man City's Pep Guardiola, widely regarded as two of the best managers of the current era, will go head-to-head against each other in the Premier League this Sunday. It is the English top flight's "premier" rivalry, with both sides recording five wins each since they took over at Anfield and the Etihad respectively.
Football managers praising their rivals is extremely rare, especially in the
Premier League where margins between a win or loss are miniscule. Generally coaches are gripped with tensions ahead of a big clash.
But Liverpool boss
Jurgen Klopp is known as a gentleman in the football world for a reason. While the German manager is himself regarded as one of the best bosses in the sport, he has now labelled his Manchester City rival
Pep Guardiola the "best coach in the world".
"Pep is the best coach in the world. I think we all would agree on that. It might be a coincidence that it hasn't worked out in the Champions League so far but the things he won, the football he plays, if anybody doubts him then I have no idea how that could happen," Klopp said in a press conference on Friday.
The timing of Klopp's praise of the Catalan coach is significant, considering it comes ahead of Liverpool's blockbuster clash against the Citizens on Sunday, billed by many as the "Premier League decider".
Despite Klopp hailing Guardiola, no pundit could rightly predict the outcome of the highly anticipated encounter, as neither the reigning champions nor the Reds are out of form.
While City has not lost in their last 8 matches, which includes two draws, and will have the home advantage as well as the match will be played at the Etihad, Klopp's men are on an unbelievable 18 match winning streak across competitions.
But with only a point separating these two teams atop the Premier League table, one thing is almost certain: that their showdown is set to decide the winner of England's No. 1 football tournament.
City are at 73 points, while Liverpool are at 72 after 30 matches each.
