Kevin-Prince Boateng ranks managers he has played under throughout career
The career of the now 35-year-old is a fascinating one, with numerous injury problems curtailing what was once an incredibly promising era.
Boateng has played for some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Barcelona and AC Milan. He was recently asked by Sport Bild about some of his former managers. He had a glowing review of Jurgen Klopp following the player's nine appearances for Borussia Dortmund in 2009.
Boateng stated:
"He's a great guy and also a great coach. Most of the time you only have one or the other - Klopp simply has both! He knows how to grab you. I don't know how he does it, but he gets it done. That's why every team will do everything for him."
The Ghanian also praised Massimiliano Allegri during his time at AC Milan, where he played 100 times. He claimed:
"We had a good time together and he's grown so much since then. Those results prove he's a great coach."
However, when Boateng was asked about his time under Roberto di Matteo at Schalke, he replied:
"The disappointment with Di Matteo grew quickly - not just for me, but for the whole team. No tension, no aggressiveness, no emotions - he stood on the edge of the field and radiated that certain nothing."
