Who are Liverpool’s Best Managers of All Time
Liverpool is one of the best Football teams of all time, currently ranked four at the premier league and stacked with talented players. But a team is only as good as its leadership, and Jurgen Klopp has certainly made sure that Liverpool has the best leadership in today’s football scene, and has ensured Liverpool gets high rankings in the premier league.

Liverpool has had a number of amazing managers throughout their long and storied career. In this article, we will take a look at a few of Liverpool’s best managers throughout the ages, and do a short retrospective on Liverpool’s career.

John McKenna and W.C. Barkley

No matter who the best Liverpool manager is, an honorary spot on any list has to go to McKenna and Barkley, who were the first. Operating as co-managers, McKenna would take care of the coaching, and Barkley would take care of organization. They originally started as managers of the Everton team, however, after Everton left Anfield, Liverpool’s founder John Houlding, asked the two to keep managing his team, to which they agreed. After the Football Association refused to admit Liverpool, McKenna put all of his drive and passion into the Lancashire League, which Liverpool won. With that, the Football Association had no choice but to admit them.

Today, Liverpool is by far one of the best, and most popular football clubs of all time, with tens of millions of fans worldwide, and many bettors who stake a lot on the team. In fact, online betting sites like the ones at www.helpbet.com/new-betting-sites have seen a huge number of bets placed on the team in recent years. Without the original managers, who knows if Liverpool would be as successful as it is today.

Bill Shankly

Liverpool was on top of the world in the 70s and 80s, when the team won a total of 11 titles, and four European Cups. This era established Liverpool as a force to be reckoned with, both in England, and on the European scene. This era also saw some of the best Liverpool managers, and the cream of the crop from this time, was undoubtedly, Bill Shankly.

Bill did not get the most trophies, but he did set up, and prepare Liverpool for the glory that was to come. When Bill Shankly came to the football club, he was met with a terrible task. Build up a club, languishing in Second Division, with terrible morale, and worse infrastructure.

Shankly’s first order of business was to rebuild the club from scratch. Him and his famous Boot Room Boys released a staggering 24 players, and set on the task of finding their betters. The new players, signed by Bill Shankly, would be just what Liverpool needed. With all-time greats on the team, Bill Shankly had successfully resurrected a dying team, and had set up the groundwork for said team to become a legend in the sport world.

Shankly is considered by many, even today, to have been the greatest manager Liverpool has ever seen.
