Jurgen Klopp is one of many men in football that have gone under the knife to save their much-loved hairlines.

The Liverpool boss - who stunningly announced he'll be leaving the Premier League giants at the end of the season - had a hair transplant in 2012, three years before arriving at Anfield.

He began sporting a noticeably thicker head of hair during his last years in Germany as he admitted to having a hair transplant during an interview with German publication Bild. The enigmatic football manager even asked the opinions of reporters on how it looked.

"Yes, it’s true. I underwent a hair transplant,” Klopp told journalists. "And I think the results are really cool, don’t you?" According to experts, the 56-year-old is believed to have undergone a Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) hair transplant procedure.

The 2020 Premier League winner has been the talk of the footballing world after revealing he'll be leaving Liverpool after nine years as he admitted that he's "running out of energy".

"I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about this city, I love the team, I love the staff yet I still take this decision probably shows you it is the one I have to take," the 56-year-old said.
