Listen in full: Jurgen Klopp's first press conference having become Liverpool manager



Jurgen Klopp is Liverpool's new manager



JURGEN KLOPP was presented as Liverpool manager today.

 

The German has signed a three-year deal on around £7million-a-year.

Klopp, who left Borussia Dortmund in the summer, replaced Brendan Rodgers after three years on Merseyside.

Klopp met the media this morning, and we have his conference in full for you here.

 

Klopp's first game will be Tottenham at White Hart Lane on October 17.

Liverpool currently sit tenth after eight games, but bookies have slashed the price on them winning the title this morning following Klopp's arrival.

The 48-year-old, though, will have his work cut out.

He comes with a top pedigree having won two Bundesliga titles and was a finalist in the Champions League in 2013.

 

And Jamie Carragher has the club to get their cheque book out if they want some glory under Klopp.

"He's certainly come with a fantastic CV," Carragher told Sky Sports. 

"He needs to [make signings]. I don't know if he's been promised funds, but Liverpool spent a lot of money in the summer.

"The owners are not Roman Abramovich types. A lot of the club's money for this season may have been spent [already], and it may be next summer when he can get the players he really wants. 

"January is always a difficult time. But if he can get one or two players in that he thinks can push Liverpool on, I'm sure the club would allow him to do that.

"When a manager is talking to a club about joining, he absolutely wants to bring in his own players because things have not been going well."
