Call Me 'The Normal One' - New Liverpool Coach, Jurgen Klopp Unveiled (Photos)
Posted by Odinaka on Fri 09th Oct, 2015 - tori.ng'I am the normal one'!. New Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp insists down in first press conference, he's nothing special and vows not to let club's history weigh him.
New Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, has made himself an instant hit at his first press conference as the Anfield boss as he described himself as 'the normal one'.
Klopp, who insisted he will have 'the first and last word' on transfers, was asked in a huge media conference whether he was also a 'special one' but his response ensured he would make headlines in the same way as Mourinho.
"I'm am not going to call myself anything. I am a normal guy from the Black Forest. My mother is watching this press conference at home. If you are going to call me anything, call me 'the normal one'.
"I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club. I had a great job to manage Dortmund for seven years and it was the best for us to leave. I hope to enjoy my work. Everyone has told me about the British press. It’s up to you to tell me they are all liars!"
Klopp, who has signed a 3-year contract worth £21million, described the decision to appoint him as 'the biggest honour' in his career despite admitting that the club is currently not in its best shape.
"It’s the biggest honour to be at one of the biggest clubs in this world and the opportunity to try and help the situation. It’s not the perfect moment but it’s a good moment to come. I feel really proud. I'm looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club. I had two special clubs and this role is the perfect next step for me to try to help."
