Klopp: ‘why am I still sitting here’ Klopp on Rodgers & Potter sacking




Klopp admits his Liverpool future is the "elephant in the room" following the sackings of Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers last weekend.



11 of the 20 Premier League clubs have now changed manager this season - two of them doing so twice.



Klopp: "What can I say about that? I think the elephant in the room is why am I still sitting here in this crazy world! [I am] the last man standing!"


Later he added "I am aware of the fact I am sitting here because of the past, not because of what we did this season. If it was my first season it would be slightly different. I am here to deliver. I am not here as a talisman or for murals on walls. I am here to deliver, I know that 100 percent. I know I am here for what happened in the last few years [and] I don’t like relying on that. I am fully in, and we have to sort it. We cannot continue playing like we do from time to time. I am really disappointed about us that we do these kind of things but now we have to find a way out."


Klopp is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, having been in charge of Liverpool for seven years and 177 days, and is the third longest-serving in English football's top four divisions.


Liverpool, ironically, face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, with Bruno Saltor set to take charge of the Blues following Potter's exit.
