Latest Liverpool News: Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has said that he has declined many invitations to take over as manager of Bayern Munich.
Ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea, the German manager has stated that he could have chosen a position that was far simpler than the one he now has.
Despite this, Klopp has been certain that he enjoys the difficulties that come with his role as manager of the Reds and the hurdles he has faced in his career so far. The German manager has done a tremendous job so far in his managing career by delivering success to underdogs like Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool. His accomplishments so far have been nothing short of outstanding.
Latest Liverpool News: What did Klopp say?
According to a comment from This is Anfield that was taken from the German’s pre-match press conference before to the FA Cup final, he stated:
“Which club should I go to if I want to experience a different atmosphere? Tell me. The only thing I can do is ask Pep if he’s had enough of all that winning. If he has, I’ll take over as manager of City. Is that what you had in mind? That wouldn’t be possible. I have no interest in carrying that through and I could have won more championships in my life, very sure I would say. Had a decent opportunity at least. I could have gone to Bayern a few times and I could have won more titles. I didn’t do it and Iwas supposed to fulfill this contract. But I never got around to it. That is not at all a problem. It’s not that the world is full of people who win. It’s full of people who try.”
Klopp turned down Bayern Munich
The fact that Klopp does not lament his decision to turn down the head coaching position at Bayern Munich is evidence that he believes it is more important to enjoy the trip than the destination. The manager from Germany proceeded, saying:
“And I try, and every once in a while I succeed with the help of a few other individuals working together. That makes me delighted to hear. What kind of a life would it be if, at the end of the day, after your competition is over, you could only be pleased if you could say that you have triumphed?
When I tell you to ‘enjoy the ride,’ I really mean it since there have already been so many amazing moments along the way. We didn’t win the FA Cup final or the Champions League final. We finished second in the Premier League, so it wouldn’t be wonderful if we stopped winning now.”
Klopp will still push for the Premier League
In addition to this, he was certain that his squad would keep up their pursuit of the Premier League championship even if they are unable to control their eventual outcome. The man, now 54 years old, continued:
“Ignore it and just comment, ‘Wow, that was quite the journey.’ As human beings, we are the only ones who can create issues for ourselves. For instance, if you tell yourself “Don’t return home without a quadruple,” you will never be satisfied. If there is no other method to please you, then this is a really challenging situation. This club has persevered through some tremendously trying times and has always come out on top.
And if people can’t appreciate the moment we are in or the squad they have, I would truly feel sorry for the. It’s great what the lads do. We are three points behind [City]. They are seven goals ahead of us. We are going to give it our best shot to win the Premier League. I’m okay with that. If other people can’t, I can’t make that change.”
