Liverpool boss Klopp: This strange week of sackings

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits the sudden sackings in the Premier League have taken him aback.

Over the past fortnight, Antonio Conte (Tottenham), Brendan Rodgers (Leicester) and Graham Potter (Chelsea) have all left their jobs.

"What can I say about that? I'm the elephant in a crazy world. The last man left," responded Klopp this morning when asked about Rodgers and Potter.

"Both clubs are in positions where they did not expect to be. I can't say much about it. I know them both and love them.

"They are really good people. They are fantastic coaches, but things can still go wrong.

"Those who make decisions think that changes must be made, and you have to accept that. It's part of the game.

"It has been a strange week. Conte last week, Nagelsmann and now these two.

"It applies to all four that their future still looks good. It is not a disaster for them, but they are probably not happy with the decisions. But it is part of the game."
