Former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Kevin Prince-Boateng has lifted the lid on his close relationship with now Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp
Former Borussia Dortmund loanee Kevin Prince-Boateng has opened up on his touching relationship with Jurgen Klopp - revealing the pair cried on the phone when he was unable to make his move permanent back in 2009.
Recalling his stint at the Black and Yellows, Prince-Boateng opened up on the close bond he built with the now Liverpool manager during their time together and hailed the 56-year-old's man-management skills. "When they announced that I come to Dortmund, they criticised the club, like: 'Why you bringing that guy? He's crazy. Did you see what he did in Tottenham?'," said Prince-Boateng, speaking to Rio Ferdinand's FIVE podcast. "So Klopp stood up at the press conference and said: 'I brought him here, I will make him the player he is'. He said Prince Boateng has a book of 1,000 pages and each page is different, that's how good he is.
