The manager  with a faith to  leave Liverpool

It is widely known that Jürgen Klopp (see photo) is set to leave Liverpool this summer, after nine years at the club.

The German has been a revelation on Merseyside, winning the Champions League in 2019 and reaching two other finals, as well as winning both domestic cups, and perhaps most notably, guiding Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years.

However, perhaps something not everyone will know is that Klopp professes to having a Christian faith. He spoke about this not long after he became the Reds’ manager, and he spoke about some early struggles he had with whether to compromise on going to church on Sundays during his teens.
