After a whole bunch of assclownery surrounding the sacking of Brendan Rodgers (no, not that Brendan Rodgers), former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp ended his sabbatical by officially signing on to manage the Scousers on Thursday. He will be introduced at a press conference on Friday.
The German manager—who led Borussia Dortmund to two back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012 as well as a Champions League final in 2013—has even claimed that he can lead the Reds to the Champions League. Goal.com has set a Liverpool top four finish at odds of 5/2.

UPDATE:
According to Mirror Sport, Klopp will pull down a comfy $10.8 million per season. Das gut for him.
