Jurgen Klopp agent speaks out on Liverpool manager future and makes FSG claim

The agent of Jurgen Klopp has insisted the Liverpool manager "has no intention" of walking away from his job at Anfield.

The Reds have endured a difficult season so far in the Premier League, picking up just 16 points from a possible 36 to leave them languishing in ninth, 15 points behind current leaders Arsenal and eight behind Newcastle United, who occupy the final Champions League place in fourth.

Despite their stuttering form, there is no suggestion Klopp is under any pressure from owners Fenway Sports Group at Anfield given the success he has brought to Merseyside since he moved to the club seven years ago.

And now Klopp's representative, Marc Kosicke, has rejected shock claims that the Reds boss is ready to walk away from his current role, just six months after signing a new, long-term contract until 2026.

In quotes carried by Sky Sport reporter Florian Plettenberg, Kosicke reportedly said: "I can assure [you] that Jurgen Klopp has no intention of resigning from Liverpool FC.

"The fact that problems could arise this season due to the past intensive season was taken into account by the club's owners before the start of the season.

"Jurgen enjoys the backing of the people in charge and is in regular contact with them. He loves the club, his team and the fans and is determined to continue and successfully complete the transition in Liverpool. He didn't extend his contract until 2026 for nothing."
