Jurgen Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke has confirmed that the Liverpool manager has no intention of resigning from his post at the club. Klopp’s seventh season at the club has gotten off to a difficult start, with the club currently sitting ninth in the Premier League table.

“Jurgen enjoys the backing of the people in charge and is in regular contact with them,” Kosicke stated. “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.”

Kosicke’s statement echoes the Liverpool manager’s words during an interview earlier in the week, where he confirmed that he will not turn his back on the club as it goes through this challenging situation. He also addressed what he considered to be inaccurate assessments of his situation, explaining, “People look at me and they say ‘he looks tired’ or whatever but I’m not. I cannot give that excuse.”

Despite losing his past two league games against Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, Klopp has guided Liverpool to Champions League round of 16 qualifications, defeating Ajax and Napoli in their last two group stage matches.

Since arriving at Anfield, the 55-year-old manager has won a Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup title with the Reds.
