Looks like Sky Germany are very much in the know in regards to a certain Jurgen Klopp and his big Liverpool adventure.
The Telegraph have picked up the story adding their one authority, according to both sources the former Borussia Dortmund coach has agreed a three year deal with the Red’s and will be unveiled in a press conference on Friday.
They write;
The 48-year-old is boarding a flight from Dortmund to Merseyside this afternoon and is expected at John Lennon in airport in a few hours.
Although an official statement about the former Borussia Dormund’s appointment as Liverpool’s new manager is still to come, it is further confirmation of football’s worst kept secret.
Klopp has informed reporters in Germany he has already agreed terms – the three year contract widely reported earlier this week.
Klopp will formally put pen to paper on all aspect of the deal later, with the formal announcement planned for tonight.
It’s not all good news for everyone at the club with Gary McAllister and Sean O’Driscoll likely to make way on the coaching staff for Klopps Dortmund henchmen Krawietz and Zeljko Buvac.
Without anyone getting ahead of themselves, this all must seem like Christmas to the average Liverpool fan.
Whilst Carlo Ancelotti will always be held in high self esteem what with his unquestionable trophy haul, Klopp still seems an altogether better fit for the Merseyside club.
With Man City making kissy faces at a certain Pep Guardiola all over again, imagine the two going head to head in the Premier League…unless of course Jurgen quickly jumps ship in order to sign for Bayern.
We’re sure that’ll never happen…..
