Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan has told fans what to expect as the club look for a new manager. Jurgen Klopp is set to step down this summer. Liverpool are expected to appoint a new manager this year for the first time in almost nine years.
Jurgen Klopp has announced that he is leaving the club, which raises all sorts of questions. The Reds don’t need to replace Klopp. Key members of the coaching staff are set to depart and sporting director Jörg Schmatke is set to leave at the end of his contract. So things are changing, but the biggest decision is the new manager. Klopp himself has made it clear that he is not involved in the process. Because he thinks it’s better to leave this process behind.
One of them is CEO Billy Hogan, and he explained how the process will work going forward.”Thanks to Jurgen, he has made a decision and wants to allow the club to go through a disciplinary process,” Hogan told a news conference on Friday. “It is not easy if this news is not made public. You will go through this process as before. This is the same process as when Jurgen brought us nine years ago.
It’s something we do individually and something we do together with the people here. Ownership and Mike Gordon in particular will be part of that process. “We can discuss when we have more news, but this cannot be a real explanation. We prefer to talk about something when we are ready and then do it. Until then, we won’t talk about anyone else and we won’t engage in name-calling.”
