I'm sure I speak on behalf of a lot of people here... it's great to have Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League. He's one of the most entertaining managers in world football and we're sure the former Borussia Dortmund manager will be successful at Liverpool.
And now, he's paid the ultimate compliment to former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's game with United this weekend, Klopp described the Premier League legend as the "John Lennon of football".
Although Ferguson is a rival of Liverpool, that didn't stop Klopp from giving him the credit he deserves.
During a press conference today, he said:
"I have a few really good memories with Sir Alex Ferguson. It's a big honour to talk with Sir Alex. I needed 10 minutes to understand his language, but then it was OK! Maybe he is the greatest ever - the John Lennon of football. It was really great to talk with him for me for sure.
"I have a big respect for me because of what he has done in his life before and it's not easy for another manager to do that. What he said about me, I don't know, I didn't read it. But I think it was positive because we had a good time together."
Fair play, Jurgen.
