‘He is one of the most influential coaches in the history of the game’

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on legendary AC Milan boss Arrigo Sacchi and says the Italian has heavily influenced the way he looks at the game.

Klopp is an incredible coach in his own right, having led Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League success in his time at Anfield, but when looking back at his own heroes the German was quick to land on Sacchi.

Speaking to Jamie Carragher in the ‘The Greatest Games’ series, serialised by The Telegraph, Klopp said: ‘Sacchi completely changed how we think about football. He is one of the most influential coaches in the history of the game and a complete game-changer for me.
