Jurgen Klopp's trophy per game record at Liverpool compared to Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley

Jurgen Klopp has announced he will be stepping down as Liverpool coach at the end of the 2023/24 season, bringing an end to what will surely be the defining stage of his career.

The German explained to club media his decision to call time on his Anfield career, revealing the demands of management have taken their toll after nine years in role.

Klopp has been in charge of Liverpool since October 2015 when he took over from the sacked Brendan Rodgers. He has coached 464 matches in total with the final half a season of his tenure still to come, winning 288, drawing 96 and losing 80.

Their points-per-match record in that period is 2.07, so it's fair to say the Reds have enjoyed some pretty good times under Klopp. But how does that translate to trophies?

Liverpool took one Premier League title, one Champions League, an FA Cup and the Carabao Cup during Klopp's reign, as well as smaller trophies like the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
