Takumi Minamino has shared an insight on his experience of working under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, praising the 56-year-old for his man management skills. The Japanese forward was brought to Anfield midway through the title-winning 2019/20 campaign but made only five Premier League starts for the Reds ( before he left for Monaco in June 2022. Despite not getting much of a look-in on Merseyside, though, the 28-year-old only has good things to say about how his former boss dealt with players. Speaking to Minamino said of Klopp: “He always spoke with everyone, even with those who didn’t play. For me, this is what makes him such a respected and fair coach towards his players.

It also reflects well on the Japan international that, even though he rarely started at Anfield, he holds the manager in extremely high regard. Other players in his situation could easily have sulked or gone running to the media to take aim at the 56-year-old.
