Jurgen Klopp
The 'Normal One' as fondly called, Jurgen Klopp, the new manager of Liverpool FC is currently burdened with higher expectation than his immediate predecessor, Rodgers Brendan. One of such serious burdens is to put an end to their Premier League drought since 1990 (25 years ago). He has to bring home the Premiership title for the 19th time since they last had such in 1990.
Accordingly, Mr Klopp has consented to the yearning of both the club owners and the fans about their 19th Premier League quest but maintained that such request would be possible by proper management of the club for the next four years. This response is a bit complicated as the coach had only pencilled a 3-year contract on the club's contract books. Would that mean another Premiership trophyless era for the next 3 seasons which his new contract pervades? Or is it a clandestine manner of already wishing for another contract terms whereas even the current one is yet to begin?
From the club's media sources, we curled the excerpts below:
Jurgen Klopp signing his contract with Liverpool FC
Liverpool have put their faith in one of the biggest characters in the modern game. Jurgen Klopp was confirmed this morning has put pen to paper on a three year deal at Anfield to become the sacked Brendan Rodgers successor, hoping to put an end to the clubs 25years wait for their 19th League title.
Liverpool players in training
This looks set to be a marriage of passion. As the coach of Borussia Dortmund, “The Normal One” as he described himself at his unveiling today, Klopp was revered for his passion for football which made this ordinary German achieve great things with his former club on minimal financial resources and taking them to new heights, making him extraordinary.
Marrying into the passionate Anfield fans, renowned worldwide for their wholehearted pride in belting out the club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” at their beloved stadium. An experience to behold by any fan of the round leather game lucky enough to watch a match at the Kop, can only yield achievement of great things ahead as it overshadows skills with no passion.
Brendan Rodgers, the estranged Liverpool Boss
Rodgers sacking was the best kept secret in football. It’s obvious that having spent £291million in his months (166 games) on 31 players with no kind of trophy to show for it, becoming one of only two Liverpool managers since 1959 to have failed to win a trophy, ( current England manager Roy Hodgson is the other) the writing was always on the wall.
However, some might say Rodgers deserve better treatment from the Kop and the decision irrational because he was handicapped in decision-making on player purchase. Regardless, ‘The Normal One’, 48-year-old German has on paper and in passion not only for football but heavy metal music as well, all the attributes to take Liverpool FC back to where it rightly belongs.
A two-time Bundesliga champion for the club he built and placed on a pedestal we know today; Borussia Dortmund. Not forgetting he led Mainz to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. His resignation from Dortmund in April 2015 had all major clubs in Europe scrambling before being lured by the Fenway Sports Group.
A no brainer really, even at the third time of asking, tempting him to end his unspecified sabbatical.
Koppites should fasten their seat-belts and enjoy the ride because this Klopp is not for turning even by Mourinho, as he’s well equipped to bite back in any psychological battle.
