Kevin-Prince Boateng has claimed Jurgen Klopp’s players ‘would kill for him’ but added Roberto De Zerbi is the best coach he’s ever had.
The Monza star has spoken about his career in an interview with DAZN.
He played 10 games under Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund in the 2008-09 campaign.
“He’s someone who gives you so much energy, makes you believe in things you couldn’t reach. He is the number one for this," Boateng said.

“He’s someone who gives you so much energy, makes you believe in things you couldn’t reach. He is the number one for this," Boateng said.
“For many, he is not the best coach in the world but he has this incredible grit and wickedness that transmits you. Who goes onto the pitch, would kill for him.”
The Liverpool boss, however, is not the best coach he’s had in his career.
“De Zerbi is the best one I’ve had,” the former Milan star added.
“For his idea of football and as a person. He has everything. I’ve always said that for me is the strongest coach I’ve had in my career, he is complete.
“Football is his life, look at what he’s built with Sassuolo in such a short time.”
The 33-year-old scored five goals in 15 appearances in all competitions with Sassuolo in the 2018-19 campaign before joining Barcelona.
