Chris Sutton insists his No 1 pick for the greatest Premier League manager of all time is 'OBVIOUS' on It's All Kicking Off... but does departing Jurgen Klopp make his top five as he and Ian Ladyman debate the best bosses?

Jurgen Klopp is one of the top-five Premier League managers of all time, according to Chris Sutton but he is a long way off the consensus number one pick.

The Liverpool boss announced that he would be leaving the Anfield club at the end of the season last week, bringing an end to a trophy-laden nine-year stay on Merseyside.

The Reds ended a 30-year wait for a top-flight title under his management and also claimed the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and World Club Championship along the way.

For these remarkable achievements - that earned the 56-year-old the distinction of being the only Liverpool boss to claim the full slate of major trophies - Sutton and Ladyman believe he has done enough to be recognised among the finest bosses in the division's history.
