  • Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a Christian and does not hide talking about his faith
  • In a trending video, the German tactician declared Jesus Christ the perfect guide for life
  • Klopp is in his ninth season as Reds boss and won the club's first EPL trophy in 30 years

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp is one of the most fearless managers in football and is never ashamed to say it as he sees it, which makes it unsurprising he is not ashamed of his Christian faith.

The German has been in charge of the Reds since 2015 and has won all possible trophies during that time, including the club's first Premier League trophy in 30 years.

In his ninth season, Klopp is guiding the Merseysiders to fight for trophies on multiple fronts, including the UEFA Europa League, a trophy he lost the final to Sevilla in 2016.

Per Sky Sports, he has a contract until the summer of 2026 which he is expected to fulfil, having turned down offers to leave Anfield, including managing the German national team.

Klopp preaches Jesus Christ

It is not rare for professional sportsmen to talk about their faith, but rarely do you see many Christians being so assertive about their belief in the sport.

In a viral TikTok video, Klopp was seen discussing his faith and declaring that Jesus Christ is the perfect guideline for life, which he wants others to think about.

"I believe in God, and I would like people to think about Jesus Christ. He’s a wonderful guideline for life," he said.

The video was well received by many Christians, who got a hold of it of the clip on social media and recirculated it.

Firmino preaches in church

The Liverpool family has quite a few believers, including goalkeeper Alisson Becker and former Reds superstar, Roberto Firmino.

As Sports Brief previously reported, Firmino preached in church after converting to Christianity, through the help of his compatriot.

The Brazilian does not hide his newfound belief, an act which endeared him to some Reds who are believers in the Christian faith.
