Paul Merson posts instant reaction after Jurgen Klopp confirms he’s leaving Liverpool
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has announced he will be leaving at the end of this season, and Paul Merson has just reacted to the news.
The football world is in shock this morning – nobody expected this to happen. Klopp has decided to move on in the summer because he doesn’t have the energy anymore, and this is a sad day for Liverpool fans.
Paul Merson reacts after Jurgen Klopp announces he’s leaving Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp has been at Liverpool since October 2015.
The German is one of the greatest managers the Premier League has ever seen, and he has taken the Reds to a whole new level over the years, winning every major trophy available.
This is a huge shock to everyone who follows football, and many popular names have taken to social media to react to the news.
Jamie Carragher expressed his shock in a tweet and described it as a ‘body blow’ for the Reds.
Now, Paul Merson has had his say, and he has branded Klopp as a ‘legend’.
He just tweeted: “Wow! I know legend is used loosely but he will go down as a Liverpool legend!
“What a manager and will be missed big time by Liverpool and the Premier League.”
Replacing Klopp will be a monumental challenge
It’s never easy to replace a manager, let alone one who is among the greatest ever. Liverpool fans have always dreaded this day, but it’s time for everyone to accept reality.
The club’s owners have a monumental task on their hands now.
Klopp has carried Liverpool on his back over the last eight years, and if FSG don’t get their next appointment right, the Reds could really struggle.
We’ve all seen how Manchester United have been since Sir Alex Ferguson left. That should act as a lesson to Liverpool’s owners as they begin the process of finding a replacement.
It will be interesting to see who Liverpool will go after in the coming months.
