WILL KLOPP BE A FLOP NEXT SEASON?

Jurgen Klopp made a name for himself and entered in the list of the best managers in the world during his time at Borussia Dortmund. While there, he managed to win the Bundesliga and reached advanced stages in the champions league. He is a fighter, a tough man who demands the best from his players. Just like any other manager's dream, a move to the English Premiere League was inevitable considering his record as manager. He, at first was linked with Chelsea Fc and at some point journalists recommended him to replace Arsen Wenger, That was not to be.

When Brendan Rogers went through a dark period with his squad, Jurgen was called to come and do his magic at Liverpool. Some doubted his move and even questioned it considering he was not managing at the time. He had taken a break after a disastrous but recovered season with the Germans. There was not so much he could do because he couldn't secure a champions league spot for the reds, even though he managed to reach the finals of the UEFA Europa where the reds lost to Sevilla 3-1.

He used the players he found at Liverpool. During this transfer season he is looking forward to buying more players in preparation for next season's title challenge. Is this the season he is meant to prove that he can compete with the best or will his tactics make him be a flop? I foresee a very hard season for not him alone, but other teams too.Teams that Liverpool used to compete with and beat have invested much in hiring capable mangers as well as quality players. This means that competition will be very stiff in the 2016/2017 Premiere League season.

The question is,

Does Jurgen Klopp has what it takes to compete in the English Premiere League? Will he be able to match the tactics of the likes of Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Wenger, Ranieri, Pochetino and the rest? These are managers who have made it before. They have proven that they can compete for the title and win it.

The answer is in the waiting. Come next season and Jurgen Klopp will be tasked with proving himself as being among the best managers in the game. I will want to see if he will be able to take Liverpool back to its traditional place, the top four and qualify for the champions league.
