Jurgen Klopp’s agent has addressed rumours regarding the Liverpool boss’ future amid speculation that he could soon leave. Having enjoyed unbridled success at Liverpool in the past few years, Klopp has secured his place as a legend among supporters.
But this season has proven to be his toughest test to date with Monday night’s win over Wolves only their fourth victory in 15 league games.
Their poor form has led to surprise speculation over Klopp’s future, fueled by Joachim Low’s impending departure as Germany boss and Steven Gerrard’s success at Rangers.
There has also been some who suggest that Klopp may not be as committed to Liverpool and could cut his long-term contract short.
The German coach has played down such rumours on repeated occasions though, insisting he’s fully committed to the club.

Klopp remains contracted until 2024 and has always seen out his previous agreements with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund.
And his agent, Marc Kosicke, has ruled out Klopp leaving his post at Liverpool any time soon.
“He’s not finished with his work in Liverpool,” Kosicke told German publication Sport1.
“There is no back door open because Jurgen still has a three-year contract with the Reds.
“He made this very clear so that there would be no room for speculation.”
DON’T MISS
Klopp’s biggest problems at Liverpool this season have stemmed from their injury crisis in the centre of defence.
Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips is the 20th centre-back partnership Klopp has used this season.
The pair have seemingly established themselves as the go-to pairing in recent weeks though and impressed against Wolves.
And Klopp praised the defensive duo for stemming the threat from the “undefendable” Adama Traore.
He said: “They have played now the second game in a row together and did really well.
“You can imagine that the Leipzig game was difficult, but tonight was difficult for completely different reasons.
“The speed of Adama Traore is pretty much undefendable at times.
“I didn’t like the style of our game too much in the beginning.
“We were not active enough and with that pass in behind all the time. It was clear [that it was] offside, but because the rules say ‘let it run’ then that had an impact on our last line for a few minutes.
“So we had to get settled again and they did. From that moment on I really, really liked it a lot.
“It was a massive task from a concentration point of view and they did really well. I am really happy.”
