Mainz is Klopp's home team, where he played for a full twelve years of his professional career. Unfortunately, during his time as a player, Mainz was always a 2. Bundesliga team, meaning Klopp himself never played in the Bundesliga.

However, after retiring from Mainz, Klopp became the new head coach in the 2000-2001 season. No one expected that this man would become someone who could defy the heavens!

In the 2003-2004 season, he made history by leading the team to the Bundesliga, marking the first time in Mainz's history that the club entered Germany's top league. At that time, Klopp hadn't even obtained his top-level coaching license!

It's undeniable that Klopp has something special as a head coach.
