Their illustrious careers began in very different ways, however.

Klopp began as a defender for FSV Mainz 05, a German football club, from 1990 to 2001.

He then went on to be appointed as the club’s manager, and kept the position for seven years – during which the team qualified in the 2005 to 2006 UEFA Cup. 

Klopp then went on to work for Borussia Dortmund and was named German Football Manager of the Year in 2011, and 2012. He has worked at Liverpool since 8 October 2015.

Mourinho, however, originally worked as a PE teacher. However, he quickly changed career and became a youth team scout.

Later he coached at União de Leiria and Benfica. He has managed Chelsea twice, and been the boss at Manchester Unuted since 27 May 2016.
