Ahead of the one-year anniversary of Jürgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager, take a look at 19 interesting stats from his opening 12 months at Anfield.
The German was confirmed as the club’s new boss on October 8, 2015, having established himself as one of Europe’s leading tacticians during successful spells with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund.
Trusted assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz came too, bringing their expertise and experience to a team determined to improve performances on the pitch.
An eventful year has followed.
Klopp guided the Reds to the finals of both the League Cup and the Europa League, though each ended in disappointment, before a maiden pre-season laid the foundations for a fast start to the new campaign.
And, with the help of resident club statistician Ged Rea, we have compiled a range of eye-catching facts and figures from the manager’s first year at the helm…
113 – the number of goals scored in league and cup. Emre Can claimed the first in the home clash with Rubin Kazan.
76 – the quickest goal in seconds scored by a Liverpool player from the start of a game – Daniel Sturridge against Newcastle United in April.
