Jurgen Klopp Champion Rise

Not since the young Mourinho has such a breath of fresh air blown through football management. Okay, so the team Jurgen Klopp manages, Borussia Dortmund, got turned over at Wembley in Saturday’s enthralling Champions League final. A crushing last minute Bayern killer denied his team.
