Jurgen Klopp was officially unveiled as the new Liverpool manager today.

In his first ever press conference Klopp joked about being the 'Normal One' when asked about Jose Mourinho's 'Special One' status.

He also admitted the challenge he faces with the club ahead saying: "This is maybe the hardest challenge at the moment in world football."

The 48-year-old left Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season after guiding the club to two German league titles and a Champions League final.

His first match in charge of Liverpool will be against Tottenham on Oct. 17.
