Jurgen Klopp has named the manager he thinks is the best in the world ahead of his Liverpool exit.

The German will take charge of the Reds for one last time on Sunday, May 19, when they host Wolves at Anfield.

Klopp announced in January that he would leave the Premier League club at the end of the season.

At the time, the Reds' boss suggested that he made the decision because he is 'running out of energy.'

According to Sky Sports, the 56-year-old's imminent departure comes after an illustrious nine-year career at Anfield, during which he won multiple titles.

Klopp helped the Liverpool lift the Champions League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the Premier League.

Klopp names the best manager in the world

While his success has placed him among the best managers in the world, Klopp contends that that crown belongs to his rival Pep Guardiola.

Speaking ahead of his Premier League exit, the former Borussia Dortmund boss declared Guardiola the best in the world, citing the Spaniard's achievements at the Etihad Stadium.

"Everybody knows about the 115 charges [at #ManCity], but I have no clue what that means. I only know the number. No matter what has transpired at @ManCity, Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world - and that is truly significant," he said via Sportskeeda.

"Put any other manager in #ManCity, they don't win the #PL four times in a row. That's down to him [Pep Guardiola] and his team. Does that mean they can do whatever they want? No. But I don't know what they did - if anything - and I'm not here to say they have," he continued.

Klopp speaks on his final game

Sports Brief earlier reported on Klopp saying it will be difficult to say goodbye on Sunday when he coaches his last Liverpool game.

He said this has been the most intense week, and it will hurt when he says goodbye to the fans after their match against Wolves.
