KP Boateng hails Jurgen Klopp as one of the best managers in the world

Ghana international, Kevin-Prince Boateng has named Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as one of the best managers he has ever worked with.

Boateng was coached by Klopp when on loan at Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the 2008-09 season.

Boateng, 33, described Klopp, who was in his first season as Dortmund, as being an 'outstanding trainer' in addition to being very funny.

'The hottest and funniest was Klopp. He's just a great guy who makes you laugh out of the field,' Boateng told Sport1.

'He is also an outstanding trainer. Klopp is one who has everything. I celebrate him because he is emotional and doesn't hide it.

'He's like a fan on the pitch. I love that. But I was lucky because I often had the right coach.'

Boateng, who was on loan from Tottenham, made eleven appearances for Dortmund and provided two assists.
