The German manager was rewarded for his side’s excellent performances for the 2021-22 season. Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has been named Manager of the Year by the League Managers Association (LMA). The Reds boss was given the honor despite his side coming in second in the Premier League behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Liverpool has already claimed the FA Cup and Carabao Cup this term and could go on to win a treble of trophies as they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final this week. Klopp was given Sir Alex Ferguson Trophy for the LMA Manager of the Year as the LMA awards were announced on Tuesday.
That is not the only honor he was given, however, as he was also announced as the winner of the Premier League Manager of the Year. The German manager thanked his fellow coaches for bestowing the award on him and acknowledged he had tough competition for the prize.
Klopp applauded Steve Cooper in particular for guiding Nottingham Forest to the Championship play-off final, which will be played on Sunday, and the FA Cup quarter-finals where they lost out to Liverpool.
“Thank you to all my colleagues,” Klopp said.
