Former Bayern Munich stars Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels had a little get together in Berlin to watch the NBA game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Orlando Magic. As it turns out, the boys also ran into another familiar face - former Mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool FC head coach (and future Real Madrid boss) Jürgen Klopp. German players (and brothers) Franz Wagner (18 points) and Mo Wagner (7 points) helped power the Magic to a 118-111 victory.

Leeds contacted Klopp about replacing Daniel Farke, whose future at Elland Road is under increasing scrutiny. Despite Leeds' promising start to the season, their recent run of poor form has left the club slipping down the Premier League table, leading to mounting pressure on Farke from fans and club officials alike. Leeds United are currently 16th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone.

The extraordinary success achieved by some of the world's greatest leaders often traces back to formative, and sometimes complicated, childhood environments. For Jurgen Klopp, one of the most celebrated soccer managers of the modern era, the drive that fueled his relentless career was rooted in the silent pride and unwavering expectations of his father.

When I was still very young at Schalke and extended my contract, I could have gone to Arsenal.

"I missed nothing in my life because I never thought about it," Klopp said. "So during almost 25 years, I twice went to a wedding -- one of them was mine and the other one was two months ago. In 25 years, I have been four times at the cinema -- all in the last eight weeks. It's now nice to be able to do it.

"After this, let's see what happens. Maybe in November, December or January it will be a disaster, we are exhausted and the World Cup has destroyed us."
