But Holloway believes there are similarities that can be drawn between the Saints and Liverpool boss.2

Hasenhuttl doesn’t like being compared to Klopp

The former Blackpool and Crystal Palace manager went on to suggest that Hasenhuttl is not quite as good as Klopp but was quick to praise the 51-year-old’s work on the south coast.Holloway told talkSPORT: The difference hes made to [Nathan] Redmond up front has been phenomenal. They [Southampton] have been competing in every single game than they were [before Hasenhuttl arrived].And thats basically down to the manager who seems like a poor mans Klopp if I can say that. Thats no disrespect, you know, hes got the same sort of attributes as Jurgen Klopp I believe by the look of him and the longer he gets with that group of players the better theyre going to get.”Klopp and Hasenhuttl actually faced each other on Friday April 5th when Liverpool travelled to Southampton in the Premier League – the German came out on top with the Reds claiming a vital 3-1 win in their push for a first league title in 29 years.
