| 10 | Graeme Souness | 16/04/1991 | 28/01/1994 | 1018 | 156 | 1.54 |
Klopp is ranked first for points per match alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish, with an average of 2.07.
This is made all the more impressive due to the fact that Klopp has spent over 1000 more days at the helm than Dalglish, who won the league with Liverpool on three occasions.
They sit far away in joint first place, with the closest to their impressive record being Bob Paisley, with an average ppm of 1.99.
Rounding out the top 10 is Graeme Souness, with an average ppm of 1.54.
It remains to be seen if Klopp can lead his team to one final Premier League title before his departure in the summer, but this will surely act as huge motivation to see him off on a high.
