As confirmation of Jurgen Klopp becoming Liverpool’s new manager draws closer, we bring you the best social media reaction from this afternoon.

Klopp is set to be unveiled in a press conference on Friday morning, and his three-year deal at Anfield is expected to be signed this evening.

Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz are expected to join Klopp as part of his backroom staff, whilst Sean O’Driscoll and Gary McAllister have both left their posts.

Social media has been understandably brimming with delighted Reds supporters, as one of the most significant signings in the club’s recent history near its conclusion.

Here is the best of the reaction:

Agree with @_ChrisBascombe. Jurgen Klopp would have been a candidate for every top job in Europe. It's a coup http://t.co/uXvCfTaI65

Anyone else excited? I’m chuffed to bits. Feels like Christmas as a little kid.

Watching that Dortmund team in 2013, if someone had said Klopp would be #LFC manager in 2 years I'd never have believed them. What a day.

Really hopeful that we’ll end up loving him as much as the Dortmund fans did. Can’t wait to enjoy some football.

Anyone else get the feeling that in about nine months’ time, the most popular boys’ name on Merseyside will be Jurgen? Kloppo will be the most popular name for girls.
