New Manager [Klopp Watch]

[Pablo]

Lots of uncontrolled excitement, followed by more uncontrolled excitement.

Good job I brought spare underwear into work.

Best guess based on the twitter noise, I think is;

Klopp arrives in Liverpool to today to conclude discussions
Klopp is announced as our new manager later in the day

Press conference tomorrow

Cheers! Hopefully we'll see some actual pictures of him in Liverpool today then

Von JÖRG WEILER

Jürgen Klopp (48) steht vor der Vertragsunterzeichnung beim FC Liverpool. Es geht nur noch um wenige Details, die Klopp heute mit Berater Marc Kosicke (44) in England klären will.

Juergen Klopp is preparing to sign a contract with Liverpool FC. It still depends only on a few details, that Klopp along with his legal advisor Marc Kosicke want to clarify today in England.

Läuft alles glatt, unterschreibt er am Mittag einen Dreijahres-Vertrag. Schon morgen elf Uhr deutscher Zeit soll er als neuer Trainer der Reds vorgestellt werden. Geschätztes Jahresgehalt: rund 10 Millionen Euro! Es klappt aber nur mit dem Vertrag, wenn Klopp sich mit zwei anderen verträgt.

Should everything go according to plan, he will sign a three year contract at midday. He should be presented at 11am german time as Liverpools new manager. Annual salary: around 10 million euros. but the contract will only be agreed, if klopp tolerates two others.


Nach BILD-Informationen besteht Liverpool darauf, dass Klopp mit den bisherigen Co-Trainern Sean O‘Driscoll (58) und Gary McAllister (50) zusammenarbeitet. Sie waren Vertraute von Ex-Coach Brendan Rodgers (42) und leiten seit seiner Entlassung am 4. Oktober das Training.

According to Bild information, liverpool insist, that Klopp works together with assistants Sean O'Driscoll and Gary McAllister. they were trusted colleagues of ex-coach Brendan Rodgers and lead training since his removal on the 4th of October.

Problem für Liverpool: Klopp gibt‘s nur im Dreierpack mit seinen eigenen beiden Co-Trainern Zeljko Buvac (54) und Video-Analyst Peter Krawietz (43). Mit Buvac, der auch „das Gehirn“ genannt wird, verbindet Klopp seit 1992 eine enge Freundschaft.

Problem for Liverpool: Klopp only works in a trio with his own assistants Buvac and video analyst Peter Krawietz. He enjoys a close friendship with Buvac, also known as 'The Brain' since 1992.

Eine weitere Klopp-Bedingung: Er will wie in Dortmund bei der Verpflichtung von Neuzugängen mitbestimmen und lehnt den Liverpooler „Transfer-Rat“, der bei Einkäufen bisher das letzte Wort hatte ab.

A further Klopp condition: He wants, like in Dortmund, the responsibility of having a say on newcomers and to have the last word on all transfers.

England ist mächtig heiß auf Klopp! Nach BILD-Informationen hatte er auch von Tottenham Hotspur ein Angebot. Klopp lehnte ab. Auch aus emotionalen Gründen. Er ist seit Kindestagen riesiger Liverpool-Fan.
Brisant: Klopps erstes Spiel als Liverpool-Trainer wäre am 17. Oktober – gegen Tottenham Hotspur.

England hotly anticipates the arrival of Klopp! According to Bild information he also had an offer from Tottenham Hotspur but rejected it for emotional reasons. He is, since childhood, a huge Liverpool-Fan.
klopps first game as liverpool manager would be on the 17th of October- against Tottenham Hotspur.

It is hard to believe we'd risk the entire deal on the futures of Gary Mac and Sean O'Driscoll. The've been with us for barely any time, and are hardly key and proven members of staff.

But this is Liverpool FC, so we know anything is possible.

[Kenneth]

If we don't get Klopp because we want to keep Sean ****ing O'Driscoll then I'm done.

Good man Herr Klopp

[Buzzo]

If we don't get Klopp because we want to keep Sean ****ing O'Driscoll then I'm done.

Can you imagine how hated he'd be if the deal fell apart because of him.

He'd be hunted down... if only people knew what the **** he looked like.

Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool set to appoint German as manager

By Ben Smith
BBC Sport

Liverpool are expected to name former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp as their new manager on Thursday.

The 48-year-old is set to arrive on Merseyside for further negotiations with the Anfield club before signing a three-year contract.

The German would replace Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday following the 1-1 Premier League draw at derby rivals Everton.

Klopp wants former assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz as coaches.
Bosnian Buvac, 54, and German Krawietz, 43, were key members of Klopp's backroom team during his time at Dortmund.


Liverpool had also been considering former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is out of work.

But the 56-year-old Italian has suggested he may only return to management next season.

He said: "I enjoy my time now but, of course, I want to come back to manage - to work - because it is my passion.


Klopp guided Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles before he departed this summer after a difficult domestic campaign in which they lost the German Cup final to Wolfsburg and finished seventh in the league.
Klopp 'lives, eats, breathes and thinks football'

Germany and Dortmund defender Mats Hummels, 26, said his former manager would be a "fantastic addition" to Liverpool.
The Dortmund captain, speaking before Germany's Euro 2016 qualifier against Ireland on Thursday, described Klopp as a "fantastic coach".
"He lives, eats, breathes and thinks football day after day," said Hummels.

When appointed, Rodgers's replacement will work within the existing structure and what has become known as Anfield's 'transfer committee'.
The international break means Liverpool's next game is at Tottenham on 17 October.

They have won only four of their 11 games in all competitions this season, including victory on penalties against League Two Carlisle at home in the Capital One Cup.

Rodgers, who took over in June 2012, led the Reds to second place in the Premier League in 2013-14.
