He continued, “But we have to focus on this season and focus on trying to give this manager our all till the end and give him the farewell he deserves with what he has done for this club. That is what us as players have to focus on, and we will focus on the new era when it comes to it in the summer.”
Klopp, in his pre-match press conference, expressed optimism about Slot’s potential appointment, praising his coaching style and character.
“I like a lot about it, if he is the one, he wants to take the job,” Klopp said. “Really is desperate. Come on, let’s go for it. Excited.”
He added, “I like the way his team play football. All the things I hear about him as a guy, a good guy. Some people I know know him, I don’t know him yet. Some people tell me that he is a really good guy. I like that a lot.”
Klopp concluded by describing the Liverpool managerial position as the “best job in the world” and expressing. His confidence in Slot’s potential to lead the club forward.
