Klopp on Liverpool exit: I'm not enjoying myself - but there's no 7-year itch

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has responded to the seven-year quit theory touted by some fans.

The Reds coach has been accused of previously leaving jobs around this time.

Klopp left both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund after roughly seven years in charge.

He stated to reporters, “I understand when people say 'oh seven years there (Mainz), seven years there (Dortmund), but that has nothing to do with it.

“This situation is totally different for different reasons. At Mainz it was a career step as well, at Dortmund I was really exhausted in that moment.

“But I am neither nor, in this moment. Neither (career) nor exhausted. I am completely here, and I have too much responsibility (to leave) - and I want it. And I want to sort it again.

"Yes, it is a difficult time, I don't enjoy it. But if people believe in me, then we have to go through this together because then when we come out we will have great times again.

“If we could show in this difficult time at this club - especially here because it is so special, because we believe in everything - then we will get through this."
