The German has been a big hit at Liverpool since taking charge last year.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail, West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has labelled coaches such as Jurgen Klopp as sexy and bright.

Klopp has been a big hit in England since arriving last October and currently has the Reds second in the table, just a point behind leaders Chelsea.

His methods have been widely praised, something that has also happened to Pep Guardiola since he arrived at Manchester City this summer.

The praise those coaches have received has annoyed some, specifically Burnley manager Sean Dyche, who has hinted they are viewed with rose tinted spectacles compared to homegrown managers.

And West Brom coach Pulis has echoed those sentiments, saying the likes of Klopp are seen as sexy and bright.

“That’s the way it is, they come into the country, they’re sexy, they’re new, they’re bright,” he told the Birmingham Mail.

“That’s fine, brilliant, not a problem for me. I’ll listen to them; they say Klopp trains them three times a day in pre-season, absolutely amazing. I’d never have thought of that.”

“That’s what Sean’s on about, they do stuff that is astonishing that we’ve ‘never heard of’.”

Unfortunately for Pulis, fans and pundits alike are sure to continue praising Jurgen Klopp if his side keeps impressing this season.

They are only a point away from first place and are also the league’s highest goalscorers with thirty to their name in just 12 games.

A title challenge is certainly on the cards and if they go on to win it, then the praise for Klopp will continue to come in.
