In an interview with ESPN Lewandowski said, “I think…Jurgen Klopp [is my favourite] and after that Pep Guardiola. 100 per cent.[Klopp] has two faces. You can see that he is kind of like a father, but the second part is like a coach, a manager. He can tell you everything – and I’m not speaking about the good things – about the bad things. Also for [players], he is a huge motivation. He makes this perfect, because he knows where there is this line where he can [push you] more or a little bit less. His performance as a coach is amazing, but not only as a coach but also as a man.”
