Summary

Five years to the day from his final home game in charge of Borussia Dortmund, we look back on Jurgen Klopp's reign at the Westfalenstadion and the links between his spell in charge of the Black Yellows and Liverpool. Host Matt Addison is joined by President of the London Borussia Dortmund Supporters' Club, Benjamin McFadyean, to discuss in detail Klopp's reign at the Bundesliga side, from what he inherited on becoming manager in the summer of 2008 to the heights he scaled, winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012, plus reaching the Champions League final at Wembley in 2013. Looking to the future, it is also discussed how realistic it would be for Liverpool to move for Dortmund's exciting young attacker Jadon Sancho, whether or not Klopp could ever return to Dortmund given the affinity he has for them, and the regard he is held in by the club's fanbase, where he created a similar bond to the one he has established at Anfield.

0:08.0	On this day in 2015, Yogin Clops Brucier Dortmund played their final game under the German's guidance.
0:15.6	After seven years at Mainz between 2001 and 2008, and then seven years at Dortmund from 2008 to
0:21.9	2015, it was time to move on.
0:24.7	Clop left Dortmund in a very different situation to the one that he had inherited.
0:28.9	Under Thomas Dole, Dortmund finished 13th in the 2007-8 season and change was certainly needed. By the time he departed,

1:23.0	I mean, can you tell us a little bit about where Dortmund were back in 2008
1:27.2	when that fresh face joking clock took over the rains?
1:29.8	I mean, it was a very different Dortmund to the one that we see today, wasn't it?
1:34.0	Absolutely right.
