A section of Liverpool fans were left surprised after Jurgen Klopp won FIFA Men’s Coach 2020 award last night.

The German boss has won the prestigious award for the second year in a row, after guiding Liverpool to their first Premier League title in 30 years.

Klopp edged out Marcelo Bielsa and Hansi Flick to retain the award which was announced during The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in Zurich on Thursday evening.

This personal accolade is only a reflection of the success Liverpool have achieved under Klopp and it brings a lot of pride to the club. However, many Liverpool fans feel that Flick was unlucky to have missed out, especially after guiding Bayern Munich to a historic treble last season, including the Champions League.

Liverpool were simply brilliant in 2019-20 as they won the league title at a canter. Klopp also guided the Reds to two more trophies as the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup were followed by the Premier League title in the summer.

Klopp admitted that Liverpool had an ‘exceptional’ year, and although he is not a firm believer of personal accolades, he is ‘proud’ with the honour bestowed on him.

Here are some of the selected tweets from the Liverpool fans:

Didn’t expect it but congrats Kloppo!!
