“Whoever they manage next has to be their own person – they can’t be like Jurgen Klopp.”
“I always look back at the Testimonial game at Manchester United, I think it was the Michael Carrick game, I played and Sir Alex was. Manager of one competing team”
“He was walking around in the dressing room, Klopp was announced as Liverpool manager two weeks ago and he said to me: ‘You’ve got the manager.’ It was a UEFA conference where Europe’s top managers gathered. He’s just being himself – he’s only with Dortmund for the time being.”
“I always remember when Klopp came on Monday Night Football and I asked him about that meeting. He said he had only been there twice, he said ‘I just wanted to see if I was as good as them. I’m at that point now. So I don’t need to go anywhere else!’” ทางเข้า ufabet
