JURGEN KLOPP was really astonished to hear it on the day he revealed his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
It was revealed to him that Sir Alex Ferguson had informed his Manchester United players in the summer of 2001 that the upcoming season would be his last.
Ferguson later made a U-turn and remained at Old Trafford for another 11 years.
However, the great Scot admits that announcing his plans was the ‘worst mistake I made’.
“I think a lot of them put their tools away,” Ferguson recalled. “They thought, ‘Oh, the manager’s leaving’.”
Klopp was unaware of this aspect of English football history, and when he learned about it, he raised his eyebrows.
Liverpool led the Premier League, having lost only one domestic match all season – a contentious VAR-infested game against Tottenham.
However, their form has plummeted lately, and hopes for a farewell quadruple have faded.
And Klopp may now be questioning the wisdom of his announcement.
