Jurgen Klopp has managed his final game for Liverpool but that has not stopped him taking the limelight still a couple of weeks later.
Klopp has left the Premier League as one of the best managers to grace it, and many Liverpool fans will tell you he IS the best!
Sources: BIG Summer Chelsea transfer updates on Sesko, Osimhen, Ferguson, Lukaku, Olise Abarabioyo, Kelly, & Badiashile!
But one thing Klopp has also been known for is being very outspoken and saying whatever is on his mind, and in this case, it seems Chelsea were on his mind!
The Guardian were reporting from ‘an evening with Jurgen Klopp’ farewell even this week, and the eccentric character was speaking about how much he enjoyed working under the Liverpool ownership, and compared that with working under the ownership of ‘guys who bought London clubs’ which is clearly Chelsea.
Why do we know it is Chelsea he is speaking about?
Because he has a dig about how the Chelsea owners have sacked so many managers during their reign.
Klopp said: “We should be really happy that we have these owners and not guys who bought London clubs and other stuff. I wouldn’t have survived a year at Liverpool (with them in charge). ‘Great development but not good enough, sack him!’ A year later: ‘Sack him’.”
“Then finally they play football where people think they might be back and they sack the manager anyway. People always think the grass is greener but we have owners who really feel responsible for the club and work really hard as well to be successful. I felt supported. We did it as good as we could have done and I’m fine with it.”
I guess Mr. Klopp is still feeling a bit salty that the Chelsea owners came in and signed Moises Caicedo AND Romeo Lavia ahead of Liverpool, who wanted both players as well!
