First look at Klopp documentary as ex-Liverpool boss gets Maradona treatment

A new documentary about Jurgen Klopp is promising “unprecedented” footage of his final months in charge of Liverpool.

Doubters to Believers Liverpool FC: Klopp’s Era, a four-part series, will be launched on Amazon Prime on February 28 - with the first trailer released on Tuesday.

In it Klopp, who gave his first press conference as Red Bull's new head of football last week, says: "You either never stop or you stop too late. It's easy to fall in love with this place, you are part of a family."

A number of players, including Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold, also feature in the preview, with never seen before footage from the club's training ground.

The production company behind the documentary, Lorton Entertainment, have previously worked on Asif Kapadia's acclaimed documentary about Diego Maradona and the cult film Bros: After the Screaming Stops.

Amazon said of the documentary: “The four-part series tells the complete story of Liverpool FC’s journey back to the summit of world football, featuring interviews with key club figures such as Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Pep Lijnders, Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Jayden Danns, plus extensive time with Klopp during and after his final season in charge.

“Further contributions include former players such as Jamie Carragher and Adam Lallana, as well as key figures who have followed Jurgen Klopp ’s career, including respected German author and journalist Raphael Honigstein.

“The series charts the impact Klopp had on the team and the supporters from day one. Each episode moves back and forwards through time, highlighting the club’s progress under the German boss.

“Relive the Reds winning the Premier League title and UEFA Champions League trophy in just four years, cementing Klopp’s place in LFC folklore and following in the footsteps of iconic managers like Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

“After a shock resignation announcement mid-season, Klopp can be seen up close and personal - with his first team squad filmed in unprecedented detail – across his action-packed final campaign. A season that saw the club challenge on all four fronts, alongside the emergence of new and exciting LFC Academy talent.”
