Wagner intends to create a new era by designing "our game more actively, develop guts, get out of the re-action role. Get independent from all circumstances around us."

JUERGEN KLOPP

Ties couldn't be stronger when it comes to Wagner and Juergen Klopp. The Schalke coach was the Liverpool managers best man when he married. Klopp is Wagner's oldest daughter's godfather.

A "lifetime friendship" (Klopp) developed after both played for Mainz 05 in 1991. Klopp was a significant factor behind Wagner's move to Huddersfield in 2017 and was "well informed" when he took over Schalke.

"I forgot how many hours we spoke about football. But when we talk, we don't talk about football as Juergen Klopp as manager of Liverpool FC and David Wagner as manager of Schalke, we talk as friends," he said.

Wagner mentioned the influence of Klopp. "If you talk to the assumed world's best manager, something is settling down in your head. Of course, there is influence."

Due to "our jobs our friendship might cause more attention than others. Besides that, we are like many other close friends."?
