For me, it's Klopp. He's taken struggling clubs to the top and overcome better teams with bigger budgets. Pep has always gone to the best clubs that already won trophies/leagues and made them better. I'd like to see Pep at a club that is struggling/not won anything for a while. Edit: Wow, didn't think this would attract this many comments and likes. To clarify what I meant about 'struggling clubs' and including Liverpool in that. Before Klopp's arrival, since the 11/12 season, LFC's league finishes have been: 8th, 7th, 2nd, and 6th. The last trophy won was the League Cup in the 11/12 season under Kenny Dalglish. Before Pep's arrival, since the 11/12 season, Man City's finishes have been: 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd and 4th. Liverpool hadn't won the league in the whole of the Premier League era since 1992, aka the best part of 30 years. Man City were PL champions 2 out of the 5 seasons before Pep arrived. Every club's struggles are relative. Liverpool not winning the league in over 30 years was deemed a failure, hence why they were struggling before Klopp worked his magic. Both are quality managers, but Klopp edges it for me. Or, at least until Pep goes to a club that hasn't won a league in 20/30 years and takes them to the top. So far in his career, he hasn't done that.

"Klopp was the one who taught Germans how to play football quickly" - Franz Beckenbauer

Pep is the type to go to Juventus, improve their style of play and continue dominating the league. Klopp is the type to go Napoli, transform the club and win them their first Serie A in decades. Nuff said

Before Klopp took over, Liverpool were losing 6-1 to Stoke City and always finishing outside of the top 4. Playing in the champions league was a dream, never mind winning the premier league or other trophies. You might say, what about 2013/14? But we all know it was just Suarez going supernova and dragging us to a title we didn’t deserve to win anyway. Klopp has made Liverpool the best team in the world through excellent recruitment, shrewd tactics, incredible player development and by instilling a mentality and sheer belief to win. The things we see this Liverpool team doing right now is something we couldn’t even dream of before he joined the club. This Liverpool team is genuinely on the verge of winning the quadruple, with the last couple of weeks of the season to go. This is unprecedented! Guardiola on the other hand has made a premier league winning team more consistent and better. I would argue Klopp could’ve done the same there, but could Guardiola emulate Klopp’s success at Liverpool? Highly doubt it!

Both are absolutely world class managers, no doubt. For me it’s Klopp because: - he has the ability to even transform alleged medicore players (Matip, Henderson …) and give them an important role in the squad - he transformed players with potential into world class players (Salah, Mane, TAA …) - he has literally rebuilt Liverpool (look at the squad and starting 11 when he took over) and brought Liverpool back to Europe’s elite after winning the PL, FA Cup and the UCL - apart from his sporting achievements, he created a very special aura/atmosphere within the club but especially between the club and the fans (doesn’t mean that other managers aren’t generating similar but not in Klopp’s way) Nevertheless, Guardiola still might be the most versed and deep-thinking manager in the world.

Lets not forget that jordan henderson was treated like the harry maguire of today (without the massive price tag) Klopp has turned him into a captain more than worthy of stevie's armband

Klopp 100%. Took two clubs who were 13th and 10th to big titles with low net spends compared to Pep's teams. Man City won leagues with Pelligrini and Mancini, they just spend big. Pep has failed to win a Champions League for 11 seasons now and his teams have been beaten by much lesser sides in most cases. Pep takes over teams who will spend big or been champions the previous year. Had Klopp taken the easy route like him he'd have won the lot many times over.

Klopp could have taken City and done as well as Pep. I doubt Pep could have done with Liverpool as much as Klopp has.

If pep went to liverpool under that budget we had I don't think he would done of well but if Jurgen went to city he would of won champions league and premier leagues

I'm a Liverpool fan, and I genuinely think it's Klopp because he elevated all three clubs way above the position they were in when he took over, and he seems to sprinkle magic dust on players that they often don't carry with them when they leave him. He has taken players like Lewandowski and Alexander Arnold, and countless others, from being nobodies to the very top. In defense of Guardiola though, he has changed the way football plays and it irritates the hell out of me when people say he needs to play at a struggling club to prove himself, and that his achievements at Barcelona are only down to Messi etc. He made some very bold decisions in his early days at Barca, got rid of some big names, and in both CL finals he started EIGHT academy players. By any metric, with or without Messi, that is absolutely sensational. He won the first six trophies available to him in management. Will that ever happen again? I doubt it. I would have liked him to come to England and take a sleeping giant, like maybe Arsenal at the time, just like Klopp did, just like Ten Haag is about to do, but anyone who can't see his quality clearly doesn't know much about football. Money doesn't always equal success. Just look at Solskjaer, or PSG. Even Mourinho's success at Chelsea, with huge financial backing, was limited and didn't bring a CL. These two are clearly the best in the business but it's Klopp for me. I wouldn't even think about trading.

Pep has revolutionised the English game but has benefitted from a virtually endless financial backing. Klopp has saved Liverpool from the abyss, bringing them to a higher level than they have every been at with far less money

Klopp a million times, not even a question, and it's not because I'm a Liverpool fan. One of the many reasons why Klopp is better than Pep is his ability not to crumble when it gets on top, in regards to big name signings going out and big name signings coming in; long gone are the days were we struggled to replace Suarez and even Sterling, when I was predicting an absolute shipwreck and it sadly came true. Coutinho left and I thought Klopp's too nice with these players, he's not got a bad bone in his boy, but quickly I realised that it's not him lacking a back bone, he's a strict disciplinarian, as proved by Sakho leaving, due to him turning up late to training and him possibly interrupting a press conference with Klopp, when he was arguably our most valuable centre back at the time. As I said with Coutinho, due to him leaving, I thought it's only a matter of time when Real Madrid or Barca come scrounging each and every summer, I also thought we can't ever get to how good we was back then. With the players coming in, I thought Virgil and Alisson were extremely overpriced, but they was good players, but wouldn't have a game changing affect like Coutinho had, boy was I wrong. Alisson, in his debut season, stopped in the dying minutes a crucial Napoli shot, which I'm still flabbergasted at till this day, which if we drew or lost, we wouldn't have won the Champions League, that same season. And I don't need to say anything in regards to Virgil; he's not just a Rolls Royce, he's a Lamborghini, Porsche, Ranger and Land Rover, Mercedes. BMW and other prestigious motoring companies, mixed into one; Maldini said "he'll be the best ever defender", and other centre backs would verify and agree with him. Alisson and Virgil, to this day, is in my opinion, the best signings we've made in the Premier League. Also, the playmaking abilities of Coutinho hadn't probably been replaced, I thought we've merely transitioned, then Thiago came in and the rest is history, I don't think I've seen a better player than Thiago ever in a Liverpool shirt, and yes I'm including Suarez. Now to the other 'big' players leaving in Can and Wijnaldum, I personally thought Can was our best central midfielder we had at the time and Wijnaldum, though we had replaced him, was still a major loss, but yet again I had my doubts on them leaving, we've improved collectively and inclusively. Can is playing with Dortmund and Wijnaldum is struggling to make the PSG team. Whereas Pep, although he's utterly world class, would buy players, on big sums of cash and wages, and wouldn't replace them. Like we saw him splashing £50m on fullbacks and a Chilean goalkeeper, in which he didn't sell him when he bought Ederson. That's why Klopp came from the rubble, he's created a team full of warriors, who would die for the cause, and if one player doesn't show the gegenpressing and hard rock style of play, then he's gone, but that's the thing, non of the players integrated into the squad show any sign of fragility and lack of discipline. I can agree with what Lineker said, I don't think we're ever going to get over Klopp leaving, may be not ever, Klopp's changed our mindset and our determination to win. I thought Dortmund, when they gave him a big send off, was unnecessarily overpowering, seeing as they finished in a low position that season, but I can humbly admit, I take my hat off to Dortmund supporters, and I was wrong. There probably won't be another man, not even generational managers, who've not been born yet, who could achieve what he's achieved at Liverpool.

Definitely Klopp. He gets players that are under the radar of other clubs and turns them into world-beaters. Jota, Robertson and Salah, for example.

Micah “both spent money” what a stupid point

Winning a struggling club their first league title on a limited budget when for me as a Liverpool fan who had never seen them do it it felt cursed especially after 2008/9 and 2013-14 is so much more to me then pep coming in and doing what city had already been doing for the past 7-8 years before, there has to be something said for Klopp breaking Liverpools premier league duck I don’t think there’s more then 1 or 2 other people who could have done that on his budget

As a MC fan i would say Klopp is better because he built a medicore team to one of the best in England and took Liverpool to CL final 3 times.

obviously Klopp, just look at the Liverpool team he took over and what he's managed to achieve by spending within his means. Won Liverpool their first English title in 30 years and on the cusp of a second European cup. Not to mention that the last non bayern team to win the bundesliga was his Dortmund side...

I really rate Guardiola. I think he's underachieved in regards to the Champions League, but there are a very small number of occasions where City or Bayern played really poorly whilst he was there. I don't think he needs to prove he can do it at a club with a smaller budget, but I genuinely believe he'd exceed expectations. I think he's a football genius in the truest sense, and is one of the greatest managers of all time. But with all that being said, I'd still just about go for Klopp. He's produced more than any Liverpool fan dreamed of expecting before he took over. The club had that 'dismal' sort of feeling before he took over, and he's transformed them into a team that's been setting records. Almost every single player that has played under him has gotten better under his leadership, and he's just a fun guy to watch on the sidelines and after the games fist-bumping the crowd, and gives great interviews...there's everything to like about this guy and that is why I think he slightly edges it for me.

For me it's obviously Klopp. Don't get me wrong, Pep is an amazing manager. However, he hasn't really shown us what he can do when it's a club that can't offer players whatever they want in wages. Like they said, Man City already had changed and brought in big name players and won the league under Pellegrini and Mancini. So we knew the players were there and were able to win titles. Yes, he made the team better and swapped out players but I still need to see Pep really challenging himself. Try Everton and see how that works out. Klopp arrived at a club that hadn't won the league in 25 years and started building his team. Bringing in cheaper options when selling the star players. Now won every trophy he can with this team and they are still going.

Klopp shows his players so much love openly when they deliver he is like a proud father watching over his boys long may he stay at anfield he reminds me so much of shankly ynwa

My opinion could be biased but it's Klopp by a mile. If I were to trust any random team in the world not knowing the finance they could afford, I can 100 percent trust Klopp to bring the best bang for the buck with that exact team and get them playing a certain type of football with discipline and work ethic. His man management and transformation of average players to extraordinary personalities on and off the pitch is second to none. Knowing that he can never pull a 100M Grealish just for the heck of it, spending available money extremely wisely, squeezing absolutely everything from the team to exceed all expectations, work in a tough league against the greatest tactician in modern football; what else do you need to claim Klopp is the best?

Both incredible manager's, and despite maybe being biased as a Liverpool fan, I'd say the achievements of Klopp are probably greater. Guardiola is as good a coach, I don't think you could split the two on that, but in terms of the scale of their achievements it would be Klopp for the following reasons: 1. Klopp won 2 Bundesliga titles with Dortmund in a league where their wealth was dwarfed by Bayern. Dortmund have not won the league since he left. Bayern kept taking Klopp's best players - Lewandowski, Gotze etc. 2. Klopp took over Liverpool at a time when we were very average. Our squad in 2015 was poor. Pep took over at City when they'd already had fortunes spent on it and were littered with world class players. Klopp has then won the title against City - who have over the course of the last 7-10 years - spent far more than Liverpool, and run them close and lost by a single point the season before (and could lose again by a single point this season unless Villa do a job on City on the final day). 3. Klopp has won the Champions League at Liverpool, Pep has not done so yet at City. At the end of the day, this isn't really a criticism of Pep, he is an unbelievable manager and has changed how football is played, but if we are simply talking about the scale of their respective achievements, I'd have to say it's Klopp. In Germany he faced the wealth and might of Bayern, and overturned that and in England he's faced the superior wealth of City, Utd and Chelsea and overturned all of them too,

Thanks Gary for pointing out that Pep has spent significantly more money than Klopp, cos Micah being Micah wanted to brush that aside by saying 'they've both spent money'. Klopp didn't really spend big until his second year when he bought VVD in Jan then Alisson and Fabhino in the summer and that was after the 150m sale of Coutinho.

When other clubs said about building a team, they always referred to Liverpool-Klopp as an example, no one referred to Man City-Guardiola.

When you look at how Klopp has transformed very average players into absolute world class ones ... no other manager has done it like that

To conduct a fair experiment, you have to keep everything else constant and have one variable. Let's just say Pep and Klopp took turns to manage all 20 EPL teams, and you ran the league over and over again, and averaged the points. I think Klopp would have the better results. Even if you could argue that Pep would do better at City, it's hard to argue that he would do better at Watford or Wolves. Thus, if the measure of a manager is what he can do given the same resources, Klopp is the better manager. 😁

I knew lineker will side with pep and brought a bunch of yes men but Klopp has been more phenomenal and given the state of Liverpool before he joined, he took a challenge which pep will never take and succeeded. In my books he’s the better manager

I’m an evertonian so naturally I have absolutely 0 love for liverpool fc but to me there isn’t a debate klopp is streets ahead. This isn’t a way to slag off pep he’s still a top manager but klopp is a different level all together

Surely has to be Klopp. The way he grows players beyond even what they would have thought is just something Pep hasn't done.

Klopp for sure. The money he spent was brought by the sale of the star man Coutinho, remember that. He doesn't have a 100 m player like Grealish to come off from the bench, he doesn't have the luxury like Pep. Pep can waste 100 m but with Klopp that would never have happened. He won 2 Bundesliga titles beating the great Bayern and taking Dortmund to the UCL final. Pep can think that only in dreams. If Pep was given Minamino, he would have left the club the next day. He can't operate with limited funds. Klopp has the option to go to Bayern and Madrid in the future; Pep doesn't have these options anymore. I genuinely believe Klopp will win more things with more teams and end up winning the world cup with Germany someday. His name will be etched in history and I am not a Liverpool fan even.

I think it's harder and more pressure in a club like City where everyone are expecting you to win 5-0 all the time. If Liverpool finishes top 3 in the league Klopp still has done a good job. I think everyone expecting Pep to change the game, winning is not enough for him.

klopp no doubt. man is making average players compete with the best of the best. Klopp has made mane, diaz, fabinho, henderson into top class players while pep goes out and buys ready made players like grealish mahrez etc. but I do agree pep has had a bigger influence on football.

The fact that not even one of these three pundits had the courage to choose either Pep or Klopp is ridiculous. Instead they stay on the fence and say they're both level or whatever....its Klopp by a mile, its a modern day miracle that he's turned Liverpool into a team that not only competes with City under Pep but also is able to out perform them.

Could see Klopp going back to Germany and managing a 4th division squad for the fun of it

Both have a quality that only winners have , intense dedication on finding ways to get the best out of a team, to CONSISTENLY WIN .. no ifs or buts just looking for sollutions .. these types reinvent, revolutionise and evolve the game .. Plus they are decent human beings ..

Look at how Liverpool managed to beat Barcelona with 4-0 on 2nd leg at UCL semi-final. It was the most epic legendary comeback ever. And Liverpool were short of some key players, like Salah and Firmino, due to injuries. But Klopp and the team has done amazing job, and fans got to witness the impossible at Anfield. 1st Line up: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Milner, Shaqiri, Mane, Origi Sub: Mignolet, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Gomez, Sturridge, Brewster, Woodburn

I like how Lineker states straight away - yes Liverpool have spent money but not in the same league as Manchester City …. Pep and Klopp are great managers … probably the best we’ll see for a long time… they have changed the way the English game is played … Both managers have given the English game a blueprint to follow … pep with positional play… Klopp with systematic play and high energy football… In fact Liverpool don’t get credit for their ownership and recruitment model in which many clubs are now adopting, such as Leeds, Brentford and Huddersfield to name a few … even Newcastle are going to adopt and are trying to lure Michael Edwards….

Guardiola relies on world class players for success. However to get success with a modest squad, now that is truly great management. Think Mourinho with Porto, Clough with Forest, Ferguson with Aberdeen. The list goes on, in fact Klopp is on it as well for winning back to back Bundesliga and a CL final place with Dortmund.

As a non-biased Utd supporter, it has to be Klopp for me.

Klopp builds teams and winners, spendiola buys them

Let me just put it this way. Bayern had to take away Klopps best players in hummels gotze and Lewandowski to stop him. Pep buys superstars, klopp makes them. We all know deep down who the better coach is.

Worst discussion ever. BBC Sounds: "Who is the better manager - Jürgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola?" Gary, Alan and Micah: "They're both great!" LOL... they never attempted to take a side or answer the question.

Klopp def has the edge for me.. Better with fewer resources and also has the edge in big games. If you want to smash averages teams 6-0 in the league then Pep would be better. But if you wanna go away to a big club in the champions league and get the job done, Klopp is the guy.

oh please for God's sake stop comparing other managers to Pep.. so u guys still can't see the unparalleled genius of this man... the level of consistency nd a major trophy to prove it every season.. the man has over 32 trophies for Christ sake 2nd to only Ferguson.... yes he got the money and players but to whom much is given much is required and Pep hasn't let down u might argue about the champions League but it took Ferguson 13 years to win one with United...nd pep has already been to a final in just 4 it's just a matter of time ... let's appreciate Pep.... revolutionised Barca doing same with City... Respect

A good team can win trophy with an average manager, i.e. Chelsea and Di Mateo winning UEFA. An average team can't achieve same with an average manager. Mancity without Guardiola can still win the league but Liverpool without Klopp will not think about winning anything.

I'm no Liverpool fan but its Klopp by a country mile. Pep has only ever managed teams of stars and spent huge sums of money wherever he has been. He has never built a club like Klopp did at Mainz and how he rebuilt Liverpool.

Klopp is 2 in 1..he can do everything PEP does but PEP can't do everything Klopp is capable of..it's just phenomenal, awesome,iconic,

Pep took over a team that bought the league and continued to buy it. Yeah they look good doing it but they were already champions… Klopp took a mediocre team, coached players to be better and sold some (Courtinho) to make the money to buy VVD and Allison and then they became champions of everything on a zero net spend! Klopp… not even close, and I’m not even a Liverpool fan!!!

Great presenter host today. I like to see these discussions happening. Personally I believe Klopp is the better manager just because he’s pulled Liverpool out of a sort of decline and made them one of the best clubs in the world.

One thing to add apart from all other things being said here: Pep spent a lot on new players, but still had some amazing ones i.e. Aguero, KDB, Kompany, Silva etc who had/have been instrumental in his success. Klopp just has Firmino and Hendo (amazing captain but not an exceptional player), and still won everything.

Any manager can go to a PSG and City to win trophies. But how many managers can go to a Mainz and win a promotion to top flight or a Dortmund and win back to back titles against a dominant Bayern Munich or a Liverpool, that has to carry the burden of 30 years without a league title and in the process transforming doubters to believers? If you look at Klopp and his connection between his previous clubs, the fans and the city. There is a real bond. At Mainz and Dortmund, the farewell that the club and city gave him was emotional as fans were shedding tears. It was raw and you rarely get to see that in todays game. So on a human connection level, Klopp is just unbelievable and that is a very important quality for a manager. In terms of success, Klopp could have gone for the easier route and perhaps win a lot of trophies but he didn’t. Regarding Bayern Munich tried to sign Klopp multiple times and Klopp said, “That's completely fine. The world is not full of winners, the world is full of triers hopefully. And I try and sometimes I win with some other people together. I am happy with that.”

Imagine what Klopp would do with City’s money, there’s your answer.

At the end of the day Guardiola was in charge of arguably the best club side ever assembled Barcelona 2009 they won all six competitions they took part in and the amount of talent in that side will never be matched.

Definitely Klopp, doubt Pep could do the same if he had managed Liverpool when the club was mediocre with less spending power and brought the club to the level to what Klopp had achieved.

Fine I'll say it because I'm not biased and support neither side. Klopp. He's progressed his side more than Pep has improved City. So Klopp all day long.

Damn, this show is a gem. Especially Lineker and Mica Richards. It’s like me and my mates decide to just talk about the beautiful game in random bits😂😂

If we swap the managers. Klopp can certainly win the league and champions league with both Bayern and Man City. Can Pep achive what Klopp did with Liverpool and Dortmund???? Most definitely NO!

Pep is the better tactician, a perfectionist that demands the best . Klopp is the better man manager who can motivate any player . However it will always be more special to build teams from humble beginnings, than to be in charge of the best team albeit with sky high expectations. Its that reason why I would go for Klopp .

Liverpool have to sell Suarez sterling and coutinho to buy new players. City were never in need to sell kompany aguero David silva or kdb to buy new ones.

the problem with city is that the last few years there’s maybe been 2/3 other teams in europe that have been right up there so in the coming years it will just get harder, u see madrid developing, barca developing, bayern are always about and with pep they may always be a bit better than them teams but the history of these other teams like we saw with madrid can overpower level in the ucl

If I was the owner of Villarreal, I would have high hopes on Klopp making my team challenge Madrid & Barca for the LA Liga with the limited bugdet the club has.

Why are people acting like Pep changed Man City when they were winning titles and were richest club way before him? Klopp has changed Liverpool, they were like Arsenal now - league position, budget, not having great squad and he won every trophy, broke many records. Imagine a manager coming to Arsenal now and winning everything, that's what Klopp has done at Liverpool.

Whoever you support, there's no getting away from the fact that these are 2 of the best managers in world football, right now. The English Premier League are very fortunate to have them here as are their respective clubs Manchester City and Liverpool.

They are the right managers for their clubs. Klopp's influence is more than just on the pitch. He has absolutely revived the passion of Liverpool fans and embraced the club soul. You genuinely feel that the team play for the supporters as much as for personal success.

If Klopp came to Man City he would have won everything that Pep did and he would also win few Champions Leagues with that budget and squad. Now imagine Pep coming to Liverpool with that FSG budget... He would run away in his second season.

klopp traded his way from a hair clip to a castle, pep wouldn't have took the same job. klopp now eats from the same table as pep.

I think we should analyse change of the fan base and year income financialy since those two took Liverpool and City. Football is about emotions, engageing people, admiration, excitement…and money…people often pay more for emotions…not just about style of play…. If someone knows incomes and fanbases through the last years, please share… Thank you

The question should be which manager has change the game and also used what they have make a team every time they step on the pitch. There is one manager that as done that and one manager that was effective in doing is job otherwise🤔

Whenever this argument is made, the state of the Liverpool team Klopp took over is completely understated and the state of the City team Pep took over is completely overstated. There is a nuance used to describe the situation at Liverpool that is missing entirely when describing the situation Pep walked into. For example, Klopp factually took charge of Liverpool just 16 months after Liverpool lost the title on the final day. Yet, the agreed narrative is that he took over a struggling team and built them up to arguably being one of the greatest sides of the modern era. There's no issue with that narrative per se because there are a lot of nuances - for example, Liverpool struggled in Rodgers final season and lost Suarez and Sturridge, etc. However, the issue lies in the fact that no nuance is applied to describing the City team that Pep inherited. For example, Pep inherited a team that actually only finished 6 points above the Rodgers/Klopp team of 2015/2016. The season before that, City finished 17 points above Rodger's Liverpool, but 11 of the 17 points difference occurred in the final 5 games - when Liverpool was practically on the beach. City won their last 5 games, with Liverpool losing 3 and drawing 1 of their last 5. The team that Pep inherited actually finished level on points and GD with LVG's United side - only scraping 4th on goals scored. They finished just 3 points above Southampton and 4 above West Ham on just 66 points - the same total Arteta's Arsenal have hit this season with 1 game to spare, and 34 points less than the City side Pep led to the title in 17/18. The team Pep inherited didn't win back to back PL games between the end of October - May and was one of (if not THE) oldest squads in the league. I know net spend often gets branded around when discussing a Klopp vs Pep comparison, but it's such a lazy argument. Both managers walked into teams brimming with deadwood. The only difference is, Klopp's deadwood had tremendous resale value (Ibe - £15m, Allen £13m, Benteke £32m, Sakho £26m, Solanke £24m, Ings £20m, Brewster £23m etc) and Pep's didn't - largely because the likes of Sagna, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolarov, Yaya, Fernando etc were all the wrong side of 30 with little to no time left on contracts. Klopp's situation is also somewhat helped out by Barcelona's mind-boggling decision to spend £142m on a player who arguably didn't fit into Klopp's tactical system anyway. It's not as though it was Klopp even doing the negotiating - it's not Premier Manager 98 ffs. The credit here goes to Michael Edwards, who somehow managed to make multiple clubs pay through the nose for absolute dross. And lastly, let's not forget, Klopp's Liverpool only became successful after breaking transfer records for a keeper and CB. It's not as though he coached Mignolet and Sakho into being world-beaters. Anyway, both are tremendous coaches who have done tremendous things.

Both are good in their own way Pep is good at managing stars, bringing in and managing his dominant possession soccer and guaranteeing league titles from the start Means Pep goes higher and comes faster to success but also has more pressure to deliver at the beginning because he comes over the prerequisites (existing team, money input) and tactics. Klopp is good to create a strong collective and a bond between fans, club and supporters and to achieve success through family feeling and mentality Means Klopp gets deeper and more fundamental into the DNA of the club and its environment, takes longer and does not guarantee you immediate success An emotional environment inspires but his underdog . never give up and Working Class Hero Family approach Both would be successful in the opposite approach, but not as successful because they would be deprived of their individual strengths,

If I were make a judgement based on everything they have done I would probably say Pep but hypothetically if I was the owner of a club and I have to pick who I want for my manger then it would be Klopp because I know he can get 100% out of his players and can win trophies

So much better than whatever Sky does. The topic and even the way they discuss.

What they should ask is how would they get on in each others clubs , Klopp would of done really well with Man city where money's no object The also won the league before pep came , Could pep of done what klopp had done at Liverpool where he could only buy after selling ,and with a wage structure in place ,he wouldn't get 100m to spend on 1 player Couldn't see pep doing what klopp has done

Both are good. They can gel players. Like brunye and luis.. both brought in are prolific. Jesus,salah, foden and sade.. its both a great display of football

I think they've both improved the epl standards and world football!! The Epl is what it is because they are part of its fabric. I love seeing the best teams in the epl go far in continental championships.

Look at national team’s records when Pep is in their country. Spain - 2 Euros and a WC. Germany - WC. England - WC semifinal and Euro final. It’s not a coincidence. His teams have strong spines of players from the national teams, he improved every player he’s ever coached, he’s changed how tactics are viewed in England. It’s not even close. Klopp is probably the second best manager right now, but Pep is in a league of his own.

"both spend money" 🤣🤣🤣

They both get the best of the best players I wanna how they both would do with an average players Let them coach Leeds or Norwich and let see how they would manage

Anyone who knows football will say klopp! the belief he instills in his players is truly exceptional!

A good point i recently heard about pep, when he took over at BCN he was taking over BCN, not Birmingham city or even Porto. Liverpool were a team that were completely inconsistent until klopp came in. It was a harder job what klopp done twice with Dortmund and now with Liverpool

Klopp can build teams and we have no evidence that Pep can do that. They are both top coaches but Klopp is better.

No such thing! Two unique world class managers! Just needs leaving at that! Both extraordinary guys of football!

People forget that this is Klopp's best work yet. What he has done in Liverpool easily overshadows Pep's work in City. With the amount he got to spent and the way he changed the whole dynamic of the club, in such a short time is unbelievable. But Pep's best have been in Barca. What he achieved there will never be reached. In terms of quality and beauty it will remain unmatched for a long time.

Klopp might leave Liverpool, manage Germany and then retire. He likes life, I can’t see him going past 65

Why do we have to argue these everytime, even a dog can see that Klopp is the better guy at managing a team. Pep brought Spanish football to England.

Pep is the GOAT. It's fascinating how high the standards for Pep are, but then again, he's set them, he's the Messi of managers. People talk about money but you have wealthy teams like PSG, Chelsea, Man United who can't keep up hence they keep changing managers.

They're equally excellent! There's no point in choosing one over the other

Guardiola is greatest football mind to ever live. He has changed football

I think klopps x-factor is that he can take good players and make them great. Pep on some level has always had a world class team, I think they’re incomparable until pep takes over a struggling club and elevates them to the level he’s associated with.

Klopp is a top coach without question, but Guardiola is a genius. He changed football around the world, attractive in attack, changing position, incredible high last line. He wonts to win with outstanding football. Just winning is not enough for him. Liverpool won against Tottenham in the Champions League final with about 35% possession. Pep would lose before he played like that. If he cared only about winning, he would win even more than he has already won. But he wants to win with his style, and that is often very risky especially in the ChampionsLeague..,again, you to anderstand!

For the two it is hard to chose since they play different types of football. But tactically Man City playing is interested to watch and backing them to win a game is sure though l am Liverpool fun.

Klopp makes stars while Pep buys stars. What Klopp has achieved for Liverpool is nothing short of a miracle.

Klopp because he aint arrogant and he has made Liverpool great, city was already up there and winning

I really like them both a lot , for Man City, it's very sad that they have not won the champions league yet, i believe it's a curse as they have been the favorite to win it for the past 6 years (this is CRAZY). i have never enjoyed watching a team play beautiful football as much as Man City's way of playing and that's Pep's way. . on the other hand, for Liverpool, it's all about Klopp, two things amaze me the most about Klopp , first one is that how he is capable of putting an extreme hunger in his team which makes them unstoppable (they can go undefeated all season long WOW). second thing amazes me about him is that every player he buys just fits right in his system like the first seaosn which CRAZY and UNBELIEVABLE

PEP GUARDIOLA is an amazing and best football manger of all times just look whats hes done at barcelona bayern Munich even Manchester city it amazes with its style of play and tactics every single seasons

Wenger was the first one to change the way English sides played not Guardiola ffs.

Pep and its not close yet, just look at his track record

Guardiola, and he would have changed how the game is looked at and played for generations to come in the way Klopp's way will not. Great pair regardless.

Jürgen - he had the bigger challenge - he had the smaller budget - and he’s got the bigger smile!
