#5 Jurgen Klopp (Clubs Managed: Mainz 05 | Borussia Dortmund | Liverpool)

The Liverpool manager has been praised by Laporta several times and it was even reported that he would try to get Jurgen Klopp to Barcelona if was elected. However, it has been a few months since his election and no talks have developed between Barca and Jurgen. The Merseyside manager has done wonders with the club leading them to back-to-back UEFA Champions League finals as well as winning one of them. He also broke Liverpool’s 30 years title drought when he bested Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in what was one of the best title races in footballing history.

While Klopp does not quite follow the seamless possession-based, quick passing style of football that Barcelona are known for, he does have an aggressive attacking-based style that has worked for all the clubs he has ever managed. However, he still has one more year left with the Reds and it is unlikely that Barca will buy him out of that contract.
