Graeme Souness has argued that Jurgen Klopp holds a higher status as a legend in the Premier League compared to Arsene Wenger, attributing this to Klopp’s success in European competitions. Klopp, the current manager of Liverpool, is nearing the end of his time at Anfield after announcing his departure from the club at the end of the current season.
Klopp’s impressive record at Liverpool speaks volumes, as he has achieved victories in the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League, and Club World Cup during his tenure spanning over eight years. This remarkable collection of trophies puts the German manager in the same league as several icons of English football, including Arsene Wenger.
Despite Wenger’s notable record of three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, and seven Community Shields, Souness asserts that Klopp will be seen as a greater legend in the Premier League due to his success and influence, particularly in European competitions.
Souness stated on talkSPORT: “Wenger never won a Champions League.” “I simply believe that being able to say you’re a manager who has won the Champions League puts you in a legendary category,” he added.
Klopp will undoubtedly be eager to add more silverware to his collection before his time at Liverpool comes to an end. The Reds have a Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on the horizon, as well as a potential Premier League title.
