Owners: How we will support world-class Klopp to deliver Liverpool trophies again

Tom Werner says Jurgen Klopp will get support from the board

LIVERPOOL chairman Tom Werner believes the club have appointed one of the world's best managers in Jurgen Klopp and insists the new man will get the support he needs from the board to bring trophies back to Anfield.

Klopp was unveiled as Brendan Rodgers' successor last night and Werner said it was a no-brainer to bring in the German.
“In Jurgen Klopp we have appointed a world-class manager with a proven track record of winning and someone who has the personality and charisma to reignite this football club and take the team forward," he said.

“When an opportunity presents itself to acquire one of the most sought-after leaders in the game, it is something you have to pursue decisively and we are delighted he has accepted our invitation.
“He possesses all the qualities we are looking for in a manager - he is a strong, inspirational leader, who has a clear philosophy of high energy, attacking football.

"Critically, he is also a winner and someone who can connect with and enthuse our supporters.
“It is our job now to support Jürgen every step of the way and help him achieve his full potential at this great football club.
“He is enthusiastic about the squad of players and wants the team to fight to achieve success this season and beyond. His attitude is infectious and we believe it will lift the entire club.”
