Where Klopp ranks among Liverpool's managers

Gerrard Houllier - 6 trophies

The Frenchman spent six years at the English giants, winning six trophies during that time. The peak of his success came in 2001, when he led the side to a historic five trophies.

Liverpool won the League Cup, FA Cup, Charity Shield, UEFA Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, bouncing back from the disappointments of the previous season, where they only finished fourth. He eventually parted ways with the club in 2004, per EuroSport.

Jürgen Klopp - 7 trophies

While Klopp's haul at Liverpool may not seem as impressive given that they only won seven trophies, his true greatness can't be measured on numbers alone.

The German brought belief back to Merseyside and led the club to the league title, a trophy that eluded them for 30 years.

Klopp gave Reds fans a new lease on life with his brand of football and helped mould new club icons. With Liverpool leading the Premier League, and still in the Carabao Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Europa League, The Normal One could end his spell as manager on a really high note.

Sir Kenny Dalglish - 9 trophies

You must be doing a good job when you have a stand named after you. A former player and manager, Dalglish is a cult hero at Liverpool.

He spent two terms as Liverpool boss and racked up nine trophies during that time. As noted by Bleacher Report, he led the side to their first-ever double when he won the League Championship and FA Cup in his first stint as manager in 1985.

Bill Shankly - 11 trophies

Shankly is arguably one of the greatest managers in the club's history in terms of his impact. As reported by Liverpool’s website, he took over the team while still in the second division.

He turned around their fortunes and led them to become champions of England within five years. Shankly led the side to a first FA Cup and returned them to Europe before his time as manager eventually ended.

Bob Paisley - 20 trophies

When it comes to the number of trophies won at Liverpool, no one comes close to Paisley. The Englishman led Liverpool to six league titles between 1975 and 1983 and won three European championships during that same period, Transfermarkt noted.

Paisley originally served as Shankly's assistant manager and had big shoes to fill when the Scotsman eventually retired. Paisley not only replicated Shankly's success but also took it to a new level as he brought Liverpool numerous European successes.
