An era at Anfield ended on May 19 with the closure of the 2023/24 Premier League season and the departure of Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s most successful manager in three decades.
Klopp bid farewell to his role as Reds boss after eight and a half years in the English top-flight, citing exhaustion from the demanding job despite his remarkable achievements.
His legacy will be enshrined as a standout figure in Liverpool’s managerial history, credited with not only breaking a 30-year wait for a league title but also rekindling the connection between the club’s passionate supporters and a team previously labeled as Premier League nearly men.

Comparison with Most Successful Liverpool Managers
Klopp stands out as the most successful Liverpool manager in the Premier League era since 1992. However, he falls short compared to the iconic figures in the club’s history.
Of the 21 full-time men’s team managers at Liverpool, the most successful remains Bob Paisley, who amassed 20 trophies in just nine years from August 1974 to July 1983, including multiple league titles and European Cup triumphs.
The longest-serving Liverpool manager, Tom Watson, held his position for an unprecedented 18 years and nine months from 1898 to 1915, a record unlikely to be surpassed.
