Jurgen Klopp, the Premier League, has chosen the best coach of the season after leading Liverpool to the title for the first time in 30 years.

Klopp led Liverpool to the Premier League title in the same season in which he crowned with his team the Club World Championship.

The German coach was awarded the award by former Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Juergen, great," Ferguson said on Sky Sports.

"We are talking about Leeds United spending 16 years in the first division (practically the second), but Liverpool has waited 30 years to win the league title, it is unbelievable."

"You totally deserve it. Your team performed well. Your character runs throughout the entire club. It was great."

"I will forgive you for waking me up at 3:30 in the morning to tell me you won the league! Thank you, but in any case, you totally deserve it. Well done."

Ferguson, the former Borussia coach Dortmund, said, "I know it is not 100% appropriate as a Liverpool coach but I admire him. I remember he was the first British coach I met with."

"We had breakfast. I'm not sure how much he remembers (that meeting) but I remember because for me that moment was like meeting the Pope. It was a wonderful thing," he added.

He continued, "I did not think at that moment that I would receive a cup in his name," referring to the cup of the best coach in the league.

Sheffield United coach Chris Wilder, who was awarded the award last season, finished second.

And Argentine Marcelo Bielsa won the award for best coach in the first class after leading Leeds United to the first time in 16 years.
