Legendary England cricketer Nasser Hussain has detailed the key difference between Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The German has established himself among the great managers in Reds history as he owns the acclaim for being the most successful tactician in recent history at Anfield.
Liverpool have tied down the former Borussia Dortmund boss until 2026 after he penned terms of a new deal towards the end of the 2021/22 season.
Ahead of a new Sky Sports documentary called 'Secrets of Success', Hussain talks to a number of leading chiefs in the world of sport including Red Bull Racing Principal Christian Horner, Chelsea women's manager Emma Hayes and England cricket captain Ben Stokes.

"I do think the days of the Sir Alex Ferguson 'hairdryer treatment' are gone. I think coaches have to work with players now rather than take them on," the 55-year-old writes in his Sky Sports column.
"Klopp said that he can get angry but that if he is dressing someone down then it shows he has not got his point across to them in the first place. He was strong on being his team's mate but not their best mate because he is their boss and has to tell them certain things."
The Sir Alex Ferguson 'hairdryer' became a major talking point surrounding his time at Manchester United as the Scot endured a number of successful decades at Old Trafford. His scathing team talks adorned the nickname to describe an angry reprimand.
Klopp, who described himself as 'The Normal One' when he arrived on Merseyside in 2015, presents an animated character in the dugout for Liverpool but it is evident to see the bond he has with his players when they embrace before and after matches.
"When Jurgen Klopp signs someone, his scouts will have told him how good a footballer they are, but he will meet the player and discuss family," Hussain continues. "What makes them tick and what doesn't. What interests them and what doesn't. He selects people on character as much as ability."
