Despite a lackluster season, Liverpool leader Jurgen Klopp has received a surprise honor - being made an honorary citizen of Liverpool in recognition of his outstanding contribution during his seven years in charge of the Reds.
Klopp himself was oblivious to the honor and was even shocked to become an honorary citizen of Liverpool. Many fans have speculated that the German coach may leave the team at the end of the season, and there seems to be a certain irony in receiving this title.
In an interview, Klopp said, To be honest, when I received the news, I spent a whole minute to digest the information. When I learned the meaning of Liverpool Honorary Citizen, I felt so excited that I couldn't help but shout out loud. For me and my family, Liverpool this place has a special significance, can become a part of here I feel very honored.
During his 7 years in charge of Liverpool, Klopp has led the team to win a number of important titles such as the UEFA Europa League and the Premier League, and has been hailed as one of the greatest managers in the team's history. However, the Reds' poor results this season, coupled with Klopp's past existence of the seven-year itch, that is, coaching a team after seven years will leave, which can not help but make people speculate whether his days at Liverpool are numbered.
