​Liverpool manager Klopp apologises for altercation with Swansea fan

Jurgen Klopp has issued a public apology after a spat with a Swansea fan during the club's 1-0 defeat in Wales in the Premier League.

Klopp is a manager who is known for his animated nature on the sideline. And sometimes that animation can spill over into unsavoury behaviour. It appears as though Klopp was having a back and forth with a verbally abusive fan.

"He was shouting at me all the time," he said.

"Sorry, I reacted one time, I remind myself I am a human being and not a professional manager who takes that all the time and they can say whatever they want.

"At one point, I said 'please'. I had not a recorder like you so nobody taped it, nobody could hear what he said. That's fine. That's how it is. I have no problem with that.

"I just had one moment where I thought 'now, that's enough'. I'm not sure if we were already 1-0 down, I think we were, but it had nothing to do with it, but only enough."
