Trainer, top manager, advertising icon: Jürgen Klopp makes billionaires happy and warms the hearts of fans. His Liverpool FC are English champions again after 30 years.
Dhe investor John W. Henry was one of the first to congratulate him. And without naming Jürgen Klopp by name, the thanks of the American owner of Liverpool FC could actually only be directed to the address of his megastrat from Germany, who has now catapulted his football company forward with so much force. In his Twitter message, Henry spoke of the determination and talent of those who might have achieved the greatest achievement in the history of the English Premier League. Klopp – the superstar.
From a sporting point of view, the Swabian Klopp has achieved the longing of the fans and has brought Liverpool back the English championship after 30 years, including the title in the European Champions League last year. The club, steeped in tradition, is said to have the largest football community in the world with 700 million supporters. But behind the triumph is much more: The 53-year-old Klopp, as a kind of general representative for the Liverpool dream project, has created a true powerhouse of the entertainment industry from an old, disoriented brand within five years.
