Klopp accepted an exclusive interview with the podcast "CEO Diary" and talked about Slott, who succeeded him, and other topics.
When you left the team and Sloter came, people felt that he did not have as much aura as you and that he had a lot to fill.
Klopp: "When I announced my departure, people will judge whether the timing was not good at that time, but no matter what, you can't change other people's minds, you can only end the season as well as possible."
"You have to make sure, you have to Try to make it as easy as possible for the person who succeeds you, which is what I try to do, because I want them to do very well."
"And if someone doesn't do that, there may be a hint that, ah, he doesn't want his successor to do well because of this and that. What are his achievements and so on? I don't like and don't want to see this. "
"I wish Liverpool good results. I wanted Liverpool to win and they did. "
"What I like very much about Slott is that he doesn't hesitate, he doesn't say, 'I don't want to take over from Klopp', he doesn't have that problem, he thinks, 'Oh, this is a good club, this is a good team', and he is right, Liverpool is a great team, and he took over. ”
“We have been in regular contact since then. Department, he is a super good person, he brought out the best in this team and won the championship in an incredible way. "
" So, that's what I'm trying to say, and again, it all depends on how you look at it. You could say that Slaughter has inherited my mantle, as you said. Or you could argue that he inherited a very good team. "
People say that the team Slott took over may be the best Liverpool ever. He did not make big changes to the team in his first year
Klopp: "He will say so himself, he is very smart, so the focus of Slott is not that he wants to show the world what he is capable of, but how to get the best out of this team."
"'Not much change' means he just does A little bit of change, a year ago we finished third, so, you don't have to change too much, but you have to change a few decisive things and then all of a sudden you win the league. "It's not that he has to put his stamp on the team. This team was great in many ways, but we didn't win the season before. "
"So, this is his job. He did it in impressive fashion. You need confidence in the people who are doing these things, because if the manager isn't 100% sure of what he wants to do, there's no point. "
