Klopp's sprint onto the pitch at Anfield is just the latest among a number of memorable celebrations by coaches

Klopp is known for his enthusiastic touchline celebrations, but he normally (just about) keeps his cool when his team scores. All control went out the window, however, when he ran onto the field in a moment of madness after Divock Origi scored an iconic 90+5 goal against Merseyside rivals Everton in the Premier League.
Having apparently lost his head at the goal, Klopp sprinted onto the field – forgetting, apparently, that he was a coach and not a player – to hug goalkeeper Alisson in glee. After a few seconds, however, he seemed to be aware of his actions and promptly returned to the side of the pitch, apologised to Marco Silva and was given a warning and a fine.

After Inter knocked out Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals in 2010, Mourinho went wild, sprinting down the touchline and onto the pitch, celebrating with the rest of his staff and players in front of the Catalan side.
There could be a whole article dedicated to Mourinho's over-the-top celebrations, but this one was memorable considering that his Inter had out-matched Guardiola's free-flowing Barcelona side – and the Portuguese boss ended up winning the Champion League with Inter that year.

While Mourinho's excessive celebrations against Barcelona are among his most memorable, another unforgettable moment is when he celebrated with a classic knee-slide at Old Trafford when his Inter team beat Manchester United in 2004 to secure an unlikely place in the Champions League last 16.
It was the game that he introduced himself to the football world and the first time he made a major mark on the beautiful game – Costinha scored a dramatic late winner that gave Porto a victory to win 3-2 on aggregate after it looked like the Red Devils would be going through on away goals.
