Cascarino convinced Klopp will burnout at Liverpool

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino can see Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool.

Klopp was drafted in by Anfield chiefs in 2015 after leaving Borussia Dortmund.

The 50-year-old is hugely popular with the Liverpool faithful.

But Cascarino thinks Klopp will eventually need break from the game - just like Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola did.

He told The Times: “I totally get why some managers who demand great intensity from their players want to take a break from football for a while.

Pep Guardiola did that when stepping down at Barcelona in 2012, and I can't see Klopp staying for a very long time at Anfield for the same reason.

“I just don't think it's possible.

“It's far too onerous a task for the manager when he is being so demanding of his players to play at a ferocious pace from the first minute to last.

“You watch Klopp bouncing up and down on the touchline and he is intense, passionate, and playing every ball.

“It's not just the game —it's Monday to Friday on the training ground as well. It's full on with no day off."
