Jürgen Klopp – who led Borussia Dortmund to their first Bundesliga title since the almost-bankruptcy in 2011, then helped them to a first-ever league and cup double in 2012 before reaching the first all-German UEFA Champions League final a year later – is celebrating his 50th birthday today!

The BVB leadership quartet of Hans-Joachim Watzke, Dr. Reinhard Rauball, Michael Zorc and Carsten Cramer were among the friends and former colleagues from Mainz and Dortmund in attendance at the birthday celebrations. Borussia Dortmund would like to congratulate their former coach, who is now enjoying success with Liverpool, on this landmark birthday and wish him health and happiness for the years to come. (br)
