José Enrique has expressed his disbelief at the new reports that have emerged about Jurgen Klopp and his future at Liverpool.
The former Spain full-back reacted on Twitter to a claim made by SportBible (sourced at CaughtOffside) stating that the German’s position at Anfield could be under threat, while Bayern Munich’s Julian Nagelsmann has reportedly been “targeted” as a possible replacement.
Don’t believe this news. The last thing we need is the main man leaving…

It’s quite a fall from grace to go from being the team seen as equal to, if not slightly superior to, Los Blancos before last year’s Champions League final in Paris, to looking virtually unrecognizable to the team that came within two games. to enter the history books.
That collapse can be attributed in part, but only in part, to some of the manager’s decisions and, perhaps, loyalty to his usually trusted senior operators.
Anyone who suggests the time has come for Klopp to hand over the reins, however, has clearly not learned from the mistakes of the Borussia Dortmund hierarchy following the German’s exit from the Bundesliga in 2015.
Make no mistake: building another great Liverpool team will present a challenge like no other for the 55-year-old, although we can’t think of another manager in world football more suited to the task at hand.
