The Klopp award announced through former Manchester United chief Sir Alex Ferguson, for whom the trophy is now named after him.
“Jurgen, fantastic,” Ferguson said at Sky Sports. We’re talking about Leeds who spent 16 years in the league, Liverpool 30 years after winning this league, amazing.
“You’ve earned it. The functionality point of your team was exceptional. Your personality is what the club brings. It was a glorious functionality.
“I forgive you for waking me up at 3:30 in the morning to tell me you won the league! Thank you, anyway, you deserved it. Well done.”
The name was sealed when Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 on a Thursday night in June, but Klopp obviously waited a few hours before making contact with the Scottish brusque.
“I’ll forgive you for waking me up in the morning at 3-half an hour to tell me you won the championship! Thank you,” added a jovial Ferguson.
Liverpool sealed the name with seven games to spare, eclipsing Manchester United (2000-01) and Manchester City (2017-18) who sealed their respective names with matches to play.
Former Borussia Dortmund coach Klopp said of Ferguson: “I know he’s not 100 percent fit as Liverpool manager, but I appreciate it. He was the first British coach I met.”
“Breakfast. I don’t know what I’m still because for me this moment was as the Pope’s assembly. I’m sure it was awesome and from that first season we clicked.
“I didn’t think at the time that I would have a trophy with your call in my hands.”
Last year’s award winner, Chris Wilder, settled for a momently after Sheffield United’s first Season in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Klopp must remain a slim team for Liverpool to remain competitive next season.
“The solution can’t be to have a much bigger team at the right time and then realize that you can’t use all the players,” Klopp said.
“These players can only play football because they know they need them. Array. The length of the team is not so vital to me, the quality of the team is.”
The two players Klopp will be next season are midfielder Adam Lallana and defenseman Dejan Lovren.
Out-of-contract Lallana, who has won 34 games for England, joins Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion after ranked out of Anfield in his career by name.

Lallana has signed a three-year contract with Seagulls and his signing is a coup for the South Coast club, which finished 15th in qualifying this season.
Lovren, meanwhile, ended his signing by the Russian Zenit St Petersburg for a payment of 10.9 million pounds (52 million dirhams) after slipping into line at Anfield.
The 31-year-old Croatian, who like Lallana moved to Anfield from Southampton in 2014, has played only 15 games this season, falling to fourth centre-back pick Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
“Another Liverpool legend who leaves the club because it’s probably a very, very vital component of this team from day one since I joined,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official website.
