Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to the people of Liverpool in his final news conference as manager, describing it as a “very special city” and promising: “If the city needs me, I’m there.”
Klopp, who is stepping down after nine years with the team this weekend, said on Friday: “It’s a very, very, very special city.
“Nothing is perfect nowadays, but the majority of people in this city… the way they deal with life, the way they welcome you, the way they treat you.
“And I don’t mean me, anyone who comes to the club and arrives in this city tells me.
“I don’t imagine the club will need my help in the future, but if the city needs me, I’m there. I want to be helpful in whatever way.”
‘I would scrap VAR’
The manager, who announced he was leaving the club in January because he was “running out of energy”, also added: “I think they are voting about how VAR gets used because it is definitely not right.
“I wouldn’t vote against VAR, I’d vote against how it’s used. These people are not capable of using it properly. VAR is not the problem.
“I would vote for scrapping VAR the way it is.”
