Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger: Pressure on next season

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was “surprised” by this morning’s announcement that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will leave the club, and says the Premier League will be “different without him”.

The club’s official website announced the news that Wenger will leave his role at the end of the season, and some of the Frenchman’s opposition managers have begun their tributes.

Klopp, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, said: “I was surprised.

“It is his decision and we have to respect that. He was and is still an influencer in football. He’s had a fantastic career, an outstanding personality and very successful.

“Maybe in the last few months not everyone was happy, but he was the dominating guy in the mid-90s/2000s. He was always a big role model and it will be different without him.”
