Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp deserves to win the Best FIFA Men’s Coach award for winning the Champions League, according to Ajax boss Eric ten Hag.
The German and Ten Hag are two of 10 nominees for FIFA’s prize of the top coach in men’s football.
Ten Hag believes Klopp would be the worthy recipient, telling Algemeen Dagblad:
“It's a good list. With managers, we see the same thing as counts for the players. It's obvious [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi belong in the top 10, but if you focus on last season, you can't overlook Liverpool.
"In my opinion, Jurgen Klopp would be a more-than-justified coach of the year. What he achieved with Liverpool, and the way he achieved it, is very impressive."
