Former Liverpool youth Joao Teixeira has called Jurgen Klopp “a teacher” and praised his management.
Since joining Liverpool in October 2015, Klopp has been instrumental in taking the club to the top of club football.
After suffering three consecutive defeats in the Cup final, Klopp finally clinched a silver at the end of the 2018/19 season when his team lifted the European Cup.
Then, just a year later, a 30-year wait for a league title ended when Liverpool were finally crowned Premier League champions.
“The style of play and the way in which Jurgen attracts players is unique, but I think he would be successful anyway because of the quality he has,” Teixeira told Portuguese publication Record.
“It is special for the personal relationship he has with the players, as well as for the tactical work.
“Is a teacher. He manages to combine the two and that is what makes him so successful.
“He is a person who likes to be in contact, in a good mood, it is easy to have a good relationship with him.”

Teixeira, who joined Feyenoord from Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer, turned down a new contract with Liverpool to make what he described as his ‘dream’ move to FC Porto in the summer of 2016.
The now 27-year-old moved to Anfield from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, but failed to make an impact on the first team, making just eight senior category appearances in his time with the club.
