From 2008, 47-year-old Jurgen Klopp, who led Borussia Dortmund club, announced on Wednesday that he will step down from the head coach position after this season. Here are 10 most memorable quotes from the charismatic coach.
10. After losing the UEFA Champions League final: "The only thing I can say – it was great. London is an Olympic city, the weather was good, everything was fine. Only the result was complete crap."
9. About the main rival: "We have a bow and arrow, so if we aim well we can hit the target straight on. The main problem is that Bayern have a bazooka."
8. Upon finding out that Kevin-Prince Boateng will play for Schalke: "Schalke??? Until this morning he was a great guy. Why, Kevin? You played for Milan."
7. As a coach for Mainz and Borussia, he once said a very similar phrase: "I will work at this club for another 20 years."
6. About Mats Hummels' constant injuries: "We will wait for him like a faithful wife waits for her husband who is sitting in jail."
5. About his hair: "Yes, it's true – I had a hair transplant. I think the result is pretty good. What do you think?"
4. Klopp has a good sense of humor, but sometimes can't control it. During one interview with a journalist: "I spit on you. I like giving you interviews as much as I like when my tooth hurts."
3. When Borussia managed to beat Bayern away: "The last time BVB won here was almost 19 years ago. Many of my players were still breastfed."
2. About a loss: "When I gave the first interview – I was very disappointed. When after 10 minutes I gave the second one – I felt better. After 30 minutes I probably will feel like I've won the match."
1. After a match where he was sent off the field: "I am very proud of my first red card as a coach. I asked the referee how many mistakes he can make. If it's 15, then he still has one mistake in his pocket."
