Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohammed Kudus has revealed his pick for the greatest football manager of all time, choosing former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp over renowned figures such as Pep Guardiola, José Mourinho, and Carlo Ancelotti.
The Ghana international, who has impressed following his high-profile summer move from West Ham United to Tottenham, made the statement during a video interview that has since gone viral. Kudus expressed strong admiration for Klopp, describing him as the finest coach in football history.
Klopp is widely regarded as one of the most influential managers of the modern era, having guided Liverpool to major honours including the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. While Manchester City’s dominance limited Liverpool’s trophy count during his tenure, Klopp’s impact at Anfield remains unquestionable.
Speaking to TNT Sports in comments cited by Rousing the Kop, Kudus weighed in on the long-running debate over football’s greatest managers.
“I like Klopp, so I’ll go with Klopp,” the Tottenham winger said.
Klopp’s departure from Liverpool brought an end to a transformative era at the club. His high-intensity playing style, strong emotional bond with supporters, and success in rebuilding Liverpool into a European powerhouse continue to define his legacy.
Following Klopp’s exit, Liverpool appointed Dutch coach Arne Slot, who enjoyed an impressive debut season by leading the club to another Premier League title. However, the current campaign has been more challenging, with Liverpool sitting eighth in the table on 18 points from 11 matches, eight points behind leaders Arsenal. The dip in form has increased scrutiny of Slot’s tenure.
Amid these struggles, speculation over a potential Klopp return to Anfield has divided fans. While some would welcome his comeback, others believe he should protect the legacy he built by staying away.
Kudus has also sparked debate in Ghana in the past after naming Michael Essien as the country’s greatest footballer of all time, ahead of iconic figures such as Abedi Pele. His outspoken views continue to generate discussion among fans and pundits.
As Kudus continues to establish himself in the Premier League, his praise for Klopp underlines the enduring influence of the former Liverpool manager on players across the football world.
