Jürgen Klopp has been named Coach of the Year 2020 at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.

The Liverpool manager claims honor for his achievements during the year that saw the Reds end their 30-year wait for the English top flight championship.

To win the Premier League in 2019-20, Klopp guided his players to remarkable heights while securing a club record of 99 points.

It is the second prestigious award Klopp has won this week, having retained the FIFA Best Male Coach award Thursday.

After accepting this latest award Sunday night, the boss said, “When the Team of the Year coach became the Coach of the Year, he obviously had an outstanding team on the field.

“Hendo almost mentions them all, but my coaching staff is obviously the main reason that all things worked the way they work, so I’m really happy.

“Usually you win an award as a soccer coach, this time obviously all my contenders were from different types of sports and I’ve never won anything like that before. It’s really good.

“On behalf of my coaches, I obviously accept it and take it home to Liverpool. Thank you very much.”
