WE’LL REPLACE LOUIS ON CHEAP

Klopp: When I can’t win trophies I’ll quit

-

JURGEN KLOPP claims he may decide to quit Liverpool the moment he can’t bring silverware back to Anfield.

Klopp has been outlining his long-term plans and can’t see himself matching Arsene Wenger’s 20 years in charge of Arsenal.

When asked if he could stay at Liverpool for two decades like Wenger, Klopp said: “Stay here 20 years? Don’t know, don’t know. So far after seven years I’ve felt maybe I should move on.

“A few weeks ago I saw a statistic for the longestser­ving coaches in the Bundesliga and I’m the record coach of two clubs – Mainz and Dortmund.

“It would be quite difficult to become the record coach at Liverpool. I don’t know.

“As long as it works really, really well I will carry on. That means as long as there is space for improvemen­t because even if you win something, which everyone here is desperatel­y waiting for, it could be the moment I say, ‘Okay, but now we have to leave’.

“In both situations I think it was the right moment for both sides, for both parties, the clubs and me.

“We will see. I don’t feel I am close to that moment and everything is fine.

“If anyone thinks they can make a similar career like Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger in clubs I’m not sure it would be possible with the media of today.

“Arsene gets a lot of criticism, it’s not right. But he’s still there and he’s doing a brilliant job again.”
