successful at Liverpool as he was at Borussia
Dortmund between 2008 and 2015.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes new
manager Jurgen Klopp is destined for success at Anfield and
feels the task his compatriot faces at the Premier League side is
nowhere near as big as when he arrived at Borussia Dortmund.
The 48-year-old turned Dortmund from a relegation candidate
into Bundesliga champions during his seven-year spell at the
club from 2008 to April this year and Hamann is hopeful he will
be equally successful at Liverpool.
"He’s the right man for the job,"Hamann told the official
Liverpool website.
"He's a genuine, honest guy who will tell the players and the
fans how it is, and I think for a club like Liverpool that's been
missing for a number of years.
"When he went to Dortmund he joined a team on the verge of
going bankrupt and being relegated and he turned them into title
winners, cup winners and Champions League finalists.
"I don't think his task [at Liverpool] is quite as big as it was in
Dortmund, but I think he's a guy who will fit in very well because
I think the fan bases in the cities of Dortmund and Liverpool are
pretty similar."
Liverpool sit 10th in the Premier League table with 12 points
from eight games. Klopp's first match in charge will come away
to Tottenham next Saturday.
