Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp celebrates a year at the helm of the Merseyside club on Saturday and it has been whirlwind of a ride for Reds fans and neutrals.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss agreed a three-year-deal to succeed the sacked Brendan Rodgers as manager at Anfield and he has not looked back since.

In his first season at the club, despite a poor finish in the league, the German guided the Reds to two cup finals, the League Cup and the Europa League final, however they were second best in both.

After a first full preseason with his players, the Reds have flown out of the blocks in the Premier League this season winning five of their opening seven games in the league as joint top scorers.

So, to celebrate the enigmatic manager’s first year anniversary, we’re looking back through the Shoot! photo albums to dig out some of the key moments from his Premier League career so far…
