Jurgen Klopp’s Exit Won’t Be a Distraction, Liverpool Legend Warns Manchester City- ‘Sir Alex Ferguson Won the Premier League

It was a bolt from the blue for Liverpool when coach Jurgen Klopp announced he would leave the club after this season. The German tactician orchestrated Liverpool’s first Premier League title win in 30 years. He led the Reds to a Champions League win, among other title triumphs. Now, Klopp is helping Liverpool remain at the top of the table and end Manchester City’s reign. For the same reasons, many doubt if Klopp’s shocking decision would distract and affect the club in the ongoing campaign. Ex-Liverpool star turned pundit Steve Nicol, however, begs to differ. According to Nicol, Liverpool has a chance in hell to be distracted by Klopp’s impending departure.

Nicol assured that every Liverpool player and fan will go the extra mile to give Jurgen Klopp the farewell he deserves. For those who consider Liverpool’s season is doomed due to Klopp’s decision, Nicol recalled what happened at Old Trafford during Sir Alex Ferguson’s last season.

Jurgen Klopp’s impending exit won’t distract players but will force them to strive for glory

Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave Liverpool became the talking point in a recent ESPN FC episode. The hosts asked Steve Nicol to analyze if the German boss’ exit would mar the Reds’ title chase. “I actually don’t believe that it’s really going to be such a huge distraction…You’ve got a bunch of players, you got a squad of players you got a staff. And I’m talking about everybody in the building who, between now and that guy leaving the building, will be running through brick walls doing anything to make his last period at the club a success,” said Steve Nicol.

Manchester City currently sits second in the PL table, five points shy of Liverpool. The Reds legend soon subtly remarked that Pep Guardiola and co. will struggle to capitalize on Klopp’s forthcoming exit. As far as I remember everybody at Man United knew that Alex was leaving, and they went on and won the Premier League. So yeah, I don’t think it’s a big distraction,” the former Liverpool ace added. If things go well, as Nicol said, Jurgen Klopp could get quite a farewell, winning four titles before summer.

Liverpool could potentially chase a quadruple before Klopp leaves

Sitting at the top of the table, Liverpool is the favorite to win the Premier League. Besides the PL, the Reds lace up for the FA Cup. They started the FA Cup strongly by outclassing Arsenal 2-0. Furthermore, Klopp’s men secured a spot in the Carabao Cup final. Klopp could also have a shot at helping Liverpool achieve European glory before his last dance. The Merseyside giants have made it to the knockouts of the UEFA Europa League.
