A couple of posters have used Klopp's average win %age as a stick to beat him with.

Very important to understand that Klopp's career is only 2 clubs.

Mainz - he got them promoted to the Bundesliga in 2004 where they stayed for 3 seasons under him finishing between 11-16 in the top tier before going down again. Think of an equivalent team to someone like Hull, WBA, Palace etc. Here his win %age was 40%

Dortmund - Before he joined in 2008 they had won a could of league titles in the mid-90s and then again in 2001 (sounds a bit like Arsenal?). He then won them the league in 2011, 2012 and they were runners up in 2013 and 2014. His win %age was 56% here.

Rodgers win record at Liverpool (in all competitions, not just the EPL) is 50% and his overall career win record (including Watford, Swansea and Reading) is 40%.

So, if you're comparing Rodgers and Klopp, either look at their overall record (49% Klopp vs 40% Rodgers) or their win record at their last clubs which were both towards the upper end of their respective leagues (56% Klopp vs 50% Rodgers).

Just trying to make sure everyone is comparing apples with apples :)

BTW, Ancelotti's win record (for completeness) is 58% for his career. This includes 75% last season at RM, 64% at PSG, 61% at Chelsea, 56% at Milan and 55% at Juventus.

Given the resources available at RM, PSG and even Chelsea at the time, you could argue Milan and Juve are the best comparison with us. Which means he compares at least on a par with Klopp, if not slightly better (in terms of out and out win %ages) and much better than Rodgers.

Trophies are the only stats that matter and Klopp has less trophies than CA only because CA has been coaching and winning much longer than Klopp hence, the comparison is a non starter.
