Summary

Before Klopp's arrival in 2015, the city of Liverpool had not seen such great success since The Beatles. Neil Atkinson explores how Klopp, heralded as one of the most charismatic and successful managers in the history of football, has taken Liverpool FC to great heights over the past nine years. As Klopp's departure nears, Atkinson looks back on the trailblazing manager's time in Liverpool, the legacy he leaves behind and what it means for Liverpool: the club and the city. Weaving this story around 11 key games, taken from Klopp's first season to his last, Atkinson considers how Liverpool has evolved into one of the greatest teams in football, with millions of supporters across the globe, and how Klopp and his philosophy have restored to the city, devastated by Hillsborough and its aftermath as well as other economic travails, a genuine sense of hope, pride and community.
