Klopp's nine-year spell at Anfield proved highly successful, bringing some of the club's finest modern achievements.His trophy-laden spell at Anfield included a Premier League, a Champions League, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups, the Community Shield, a UEFA Super Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.During the 2019/20 campaign, Liverpool also became the quickest side to reach 30 victories in a season and fell just one point short of the 100-point milestone.Arteta, who has been crafting his own managerial reputation at Arsenal since replacing Unai Emery in 2019, has already secured the FA Cup and two Community Shields.However, the Premier League crown remains elusive after two successive second-place finishes.READ MORE: Milos Kerkez makes 'tough' Liverpool admission and explains what he has seen in trainingREAD MORE: Liverpool receive immediate Marc Guehi update after transfer bombshellWhilst Klopp has been a significant presence in English football, Arteta's personal 'Mount Rushmore' highlights the managers who shaped him most or made a specific mark on his coaching journey, and he reserved a special mention for Everton boss Moyes.During a Q&A with Sky Sports, Arteta was questioned about who would feature on his list of greatest Premier League managers.He said: "Well, for personal attachment, for sure Arsene Wenger and Pep [Guardiola] has to be there 100 per cent."David Moyes has to be there as well, for what he did at Everton and for what he did for me personally.



And then, another, I think due to the history of the Premier League and taking the level of European competition from the English perspective to a different level, Sir Alex Ferguson."Since leaving Liverpool last summer, Klopp has admitted he misses 'nothing' about his former life as a coach. But knowing as well, that I don’t want to work as a coach anymore."That’s what I think," he added, when asked if he would never coach again.

I’m 58."If I started again at 65, everybody will say, ‘You said you’ll never do it again!’ Er, sorry, I thought 100 per cent (when I said it)! I don’t miss anything."Liverpool returns to Premier League action on Sunday, facing Manchester United at Anfield, while Arsenal will travel to Fulham on Saturday evening.
