Jurgen Klopp's agent finally breaks silence on Liverpool manager's plans for future

Jurgen Klopp's agent Marc Kosicke says there is no "back door" to his client exiting Liverpool, with the Champions League and Premier League winner remaining committed to the Reds.

Wild suggestions have circulated about the Reds boss quitting the club in the wake of Liverpool's poor form last season, with the immediate aftermath of last month's 3-1 defeat at Leicester seeing the Merseyside rumour mill crank into overdrive.

Such speculation is nothing new, but Klopp's future was questioned even further in the wake of Germany boss Joachim Low announcing that he would step down from his position after 15 years in the role after this summer's European Championships.

Klopp was quick to shoot down any suggestions that he would replace Low by pointing to the three years remaining on his contract at Liverpool, and now Kosicke has followed suit.

“He's not finished with his work in Liverpool,” he told German publication Sport1.

“There is no back door open because Jurgen still has a three-year contract with the Reds.

"He made this very clear so that there would be no room for speculation.”

Klopp has seen his side register back-to-back wins in the Champions League and Premier League in the past month, with last week's victory over RB Leipzig followed up by Monday's 1-0 success at Wolves.

Diogo Jota grabbed the only goal of the game at the stroke of half-time against his former club, with Klopp happy at the result even if the performance could have been improved upon.

"It's all about the result," he told Sky Sports.

"A big fight. If we want three dirty points, I'm fine with that. We had very good moments where we should have done better. Defensively the whole game was really good. I didn't like the start, we weren't active enough.

"We defended well, we counter-attacked. A lot of really good football moments. The goal we scored was beautiful. I thought the goalie would have saved it but it was in.

"A lot of good news tonight but most important, the three points.

"We want to go into the [international] break with a positive feeling and we have it."
