Jurgen Klopp’s honours as Liverpool manager
Jurgen Klopp has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, a moment which will bring to an end another successful chapter in the club’s history.
Klopp arrived at Anfield late in 2015, tasked with bringing trophies back to the club.
With four still to play for in this campaign there is every chance he could add to those he has already won, which the PA news agency lists here.
Premier League 2019-2020
Perhaps the one which matters the most to Liverpool fans, Klopp returned the Reds' first top flight title in 30 years as his side finished 17 points clear of Manchester City. The sadness for the supporters was that as it came during COVID-19 lockdowns, no fans were present in the stadium to celebrate the success, which was confirmed when nearest rival City lost at Chelsea. Klopp’s men won 32 of their 38 games that season.
FA Cup 2021-2022
Liverpool’s run to the final saw it beat Shrewsbury Town, Cardiff City, Norwich City and Nottingham Forest, before an all-the-more difficult semi-final assignment against Manchester City. Two goals from Sadio Mane secured a somewhat unexpected win, before beating Chelsea 6-5 on penalties in the final.
Carabao Cup 2021-2022
Beating Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup final may have felt familiar to Klopp for some three months earlier his side had done the same thing to beat the same opposition and win the Carabao Cup. This time it was a lengthier shootout, going all the way to the goalkeepers, with Liverpool’s regular reserve, Caoimhin Kelleher, scoring the decisive penalty for an 11-10 success.
Community Shield 2022
Liverpool’s FA Cup success meant another showdown with Manchester City, this time in the Community Shield, a match played at Leicester because of the Women’s UEFA Euro 2022 final at Wembley. Big-money summer signing Darwin Nunez capped a 3-1 victory and another piece of silverware for Klopp, whose men ran out 3-1 winners.
UEFA Champions League 2018-2019
This one ranks alongside the 2020 Premier League as Klopp’s crowing glory; a sixth European title for Liverpool coming thanks to a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in an all-English final played in Madrid. Liverpool booked its place in the final with an improbable come-from-behind semi-final win over Lionel Messi’s all-conquering Barcelona team, while on the night goals from Mo Salah and Divock Origi earned it the title. The Reds enjoyed great success and consistency in the competition under Klopp too, being losing finalists in 2018 and 2022, while they were also runners-up in the 2016 UEFA Europa League.
UEFA Super Cup 2019
Another final, another penalty shootout win over Chelsea, this one coming in Istanbul after a 2-2 draw after extra-time between the winners of the UEFA Champions and UEFA Europa Leagues. Mane scored a brace in the match, before Tammy Abraham’s missed penalty gave Liverpool the title.
FIFA Club World Cup 2019
Roberto Firmino ensured Klopp was able to end 2019 with three non-domestic trophies, with the FIFA Club World Cup going alongside the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Champions League. The Brazilian scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 semi-final win over Monterrey in Qatar, before his extra-time winner saw off Flamengo to win the final 1-0.
