Pep Guardiola told Jurgen Klopp is world’s best manager-not him

Former Premier League defender Christian Ziege believes Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is the best manager in world football right now. Klopp missed out the chance to be the Premier League champion last season, but he managed to win the Champions League trophy. "I think you have to be careful with that. To rate the best coach in the world you have to count in all coaches, even the ones working in low-class leagues," he told Omnisport . "The conditions that Klopp, Guardiola, Pochettino or Niko Kovac are having, many coaches don't. So you need to be careful with that title. "If you take those who everybody talks about, there is no one who did better than Klopp. I'm a big fan of his because he started at Mainz and finished fourth three times in a row in the second division. "He made Mainz a club who finally got promoted and developed to an incredible club. Then he went to Dortmund. He took this club to German champions and a Champions League title candidate. He elevated this club to a level which they are still today. "He went to Liverpool, the club who has been talking about becoming Premier League champions or being more successful for years and has been achieving the same there. "He won the Champions League and finished second in the league with 97 points, which is mayhem. Now he's leading the league again, even though it is still early in the campaign. This proves to me that he has to be an exceptional coach, because all of this can't happen by accident."
