Sports News Official: Jurgen Klopp is new Liverpool boss
OCT 8, 2015 LISTEN

Jurgen Klopp has been appointed Liverpool's new manager on a three-year deal.

The 48-year-old German replaces Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday after three and a half years in charge with the club 10th in the Premier League.

Klopp has been out of work since May, when he ended a seven-year spell at Borussia Dortmund to take a sabbatical.

He is expected to have Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz - his former assistants at the Bundesliga club - at Anfield.

Sean O'Driscoll, who was Rodgers' assistant, has left the club, while Gary McAllister has been moved from first-team coach to a new "ambassadorial position".

Klopp will be officially unveiled by Liverpool on Friday at 09:00 GMT
