Jurgen Klopp has no intention of walking away from Liverpool despite the Reds' poor start to the season.
Liverpool have won four, drawn four, and lost four of their Premier League matches this term and currently sit ninth in the table, just a few months after they ended last season with two trophies and close to two more.
The exertions that the Reds experienced in narrowly missing out on last season's Premier League and Champions League, winning the FA Cup and League Cup along the way, have been cited by many as the reason for a hangover which has carried on into this season.
It was claimed in Germany that Klopp was becoming fatigued by the challenge that he now faced at Anfield during what has been an injury-hit campaign, but his agent Marc Kosicke has rubbished claims that the German boss could walk away from a job he took up in October 2015.
"I can assure that Jurgen Klopp is not thinking about resigning from Liverpool," Kosicke told Sky Sport Germany.
"The fact that there could be problems this season, due to the past intense season, was also calculated on the part of the club's owners before the start of this season.
"Jurgen enjoys the support of those responsible, and is in regular contact with them.
"He loves the club, the team and the fans, and is determined to drive forward the transformation at Liverpool, and bring it to a successful conclusion.
"It's not for nothing that he extended his contract earlier this year until 2026."
Klopp's Liverpool have already reached the last-16 of the Champions League, and ahead of Tuesday's group stage clash with Napoli at Anfield he issued a rallying cry in his programme notes.
“We have done this really well at times this season. The problem is that we have not done it enough," he wrote.
"The good news is that it is still there. If it was not, we would not have beaten Manchester City, we would not have won away to Ajax and we definitely would not have qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League with a game to spare.
“This has all happened in the last couple of weeks. So while we should not forget the setbacks and the disappointments that we have had, we cannot allow them to define who we are.
“We – and nobody else – define who we are. I said when I first arrived at this club that every single one of us is responsible for everything and this is especially true now.
“We can turn things around. We can make the situation better. We can get better results and we can definitely play better more consistently. This is our responsibility right now so we should embrace it like we have every other challenge that we have faced over the past seven years."
