Despite Borussia Dortmund's woeful current domestic form, Klopp has turned them into a bona-fide European force.
Tonight, with qualification into the Champions League group stages already secured, Klopp brings his team to Arsenal.
But could he become at regular at the Emirates Stadium in the not too distant future? To be perfectly clear that potentiality is at least two-and-half years away
That's how long Arsene Wenger has left on his current Arsenal contract.
The chances of the Frenchman being sacked are virtually non-existent; so to is the possibility of Wenger walking away (he's been vocal in his views of breaking contracts).
But once the time comes for Wenger to leave north London, then Klopp is already assured a place on Arsenal's shortlist of replacements.
To bill tonight's clash as 'Klopp's Arsenal audition' would be unfair on the German.
His reputation as one of Europe's best young managers is secure, win or lose tonight.
