In just over a week, as many as three managers of Premier League clubs lost their jobs, which Jurgen Klopp commented on.
Antonio Conte was the first to be fired, followed by Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter.
“I have a lot of respect for Potter and Rogers; I like them both. Fantastic managers, but things can always go wrong. That’s how it is in the football business. It was a strange week, with Antonio Conte, Nagelsmann, and then the two of them,” said Klopp.
The team from “Enfield” is not achieving results in line with expectations this season, but the German expert is not afraid for his job.
“If there is an elephant in the room, why am I still sitting in this place in this crazy world? The last survivor If this was my first season, it would be much different. Yes, we have smart owners, but to be 100% sure, you’d have to ask them. I’m not afraid of being fired.
I don’t think Graham Potter was afraid either. I am aware that I am still here because of what was done in the past, not this season. But there’s no need to be afraid; I’m not a mural on the wall; I’m here to contribute. We all understand it as part of the job,” said Klopp, who added:
This, with Potter, is already the 12th dismissal this season in the Premier League. terrible number, but it is what it is. Many clubs record results below expectations, as do we. The expectations are there, rightfully so, and if you don’t meet them, then you have to accept the decisions.”
Liverpool will meet Chelsea on Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the eighth round of the Premier League.
“They will try to break away. This is a normal effect when a manager leaves. As far as I know, his team is still there and they are staying. As in the match between Bayern and Dortmund, you saw that Bayern’s players showed a reaction”, concluded Klopp.
