Jurgen Klopp's funniest moments as Liverpool manager

But as Klopp begins his final journey as the Reds' boss, we take a little detour and look at his funniest moments. Klopp has a funny bone as much as he has tactical ingenuity.

You don't believe us? Fine. Find out for yourself.

1. Lucas Leiva, what are you doing?

In 2016, during the Merseyside derby, Lucas Leiva scuffed his shot wide after a sustained period of possession from Liverpool.

The Brazilian was a midfield powerhouse but never really had his shooting boots on. As soon as he took the poor shot, the cameras panned to Klopp in the dugout, who laughed uncontrollably.

2. Move over Kendrick - when Klopp rapped

Well, after you win your first Champions League title as manager, not many people are allowed to dictate how you are supposed to celebrate.

3. When Klopp pulled his hamstring

In the 2022/2023 season, Liverpool vs Tottenham at Anfield served as one of the most entertaining games in Premier League history.

The hosts blew a three-goal lead, with Richarlison scoring in stoppage time. However, Diogo Jota ran up the other end immediately after the restart and scored the winner, sending Anfield into delirium. Klopp ran around amok and ended up tearing his hamstring.

4. Thiago Alcântara and Darwin Nunez

In the same game against Tottenham, Klopp brought Darwin Nunez from the bench, but rather than pass instructions to his striker, Thiago Alcântara crept behind him and spoke with the Uruguayan.

Klopp seemed perplexed by Alcântara's actions and gave him a hilarious look as the midfielder went back to the bench.
