Liverpool's new manager Jurgen Klopp is known as much for his humorous utterances as for his success in steering former club Borussia Dortmund to the summit of German football.
We list 10 of his most celebrated soundbytes:
“We're facing the greatest challenge there is in football: to play against an Italian team that only needs a draw.”
- Prior to a Champions League last 16 second-leg match against Juventus last season.
“He likes having the ball, playing football, passes. It's like an orchestra. But it's a silent song. I like heavy metal more. I always want it loud.”
- On difference between him and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
“When Dortmund last won here 19 years ago, most of my players were still being breast-fed.”
- Following a victory at Bayern Munich in 2011.
“We will wait for him like a good wife waiting for her husband who is in jail.”

“The fans should not only recognise us by our black and yellow jerseys. Even if we play in red, everyone in the stadium should think, 'Whoa, that can only be BVB.'“

“They are like the Chinese in the business world. They look at what others are doing and copy it, just with more money.”
- On competing with super-rich Bayern Munich.
“The only thing I can say is that it was great. London is the town of the Olympic Games. The weather was good, everything is OK. Only the result is so shit.”
- After Dortmund's 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley.
“Yes, it's true. I underwent a hair transplant. And I think the results are really cool, don't you?”
