Jurgen Klopp’s representative has confirmed that the German manager will not quit from Liverpool.
Following Liverpool’s on-field troubles, there has been much talk about Klopp’s future, with some speculating that he would step down as manager. Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, has publicly refuted these allegations and expressed his support for the team.
Quoted by Florian Plettenburg, Kosicke said: “I can assure that Jürgen Klopp has no intention of resigning from Liverpool FC. The fact that problems could arise this season due to the past intensive season was taken into account by the club’s owners before the start of the season.
“Jurgen enjoys the backing of the people in charge and is in regular contact with them. He loves the club, his team and the fans and is determined to continue and successfully complete the transition in Liverpool. He didn’t extend his contract until 2026 for nothing.”
Liverpool have now spiralled out of control after what appeared to be a stunning victory at home to Manchester City last month, as injuries and inconsistency take their toll on the side. After consecutive Premier League defeats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds, they are ninth in the table after 12 games, 16 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
The German coach has a few games left before the World Cup to rediscover a vein of consistency and excellence for Liverpool.
