Jurgen Klopp once revealed the text message he received from Liverpool's owners after taking charge of the club.
In 2015, Liverpool appointed Klopp as their manager as he replaced Brendan Rodgers.
At the time of his arrival, the Reds were in tenth place in the Premier League table as work had to be done to turn their fortunes around.
The 56-year-old has since guided Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League glory, winning the league title in the 2019/20 season and Europe's coveted trophy in the 2018/19 season.

Through his shrewd business in the transfer market, Liverpool returned to their glory ways as Klopp worked his managerial magic.
He needed time after taking the reins at Liverpool - a message which was relayed to the club's owners following his appointment.
The German boss revealed he received a text message from John Henry apologising for the state of the squad when he took over.
"At the beginning I received a message from the US saying, 'Sorry for the squad we've given you'," said Klopp.
"But all was good I replied, it just needs time."
"There is a very strong tie to the owners, they support a lot. I just want to win football matches, to be honest."
He was proved right as Liverpool have gone on to win domestic and European titles, with his side currently at the top of the Premier League.
Liverpool came from behind to beat Crystal Palace last Saturday as they occupy top spot, with 37 points on the board - one point ahead of Arsenal.
The Merseyside outfit have lost just one league game this season - the fewest of any team in England's top flight.
They will look to resume their winning ways when they host rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
