Agent: Liverpool did not contact Jurgen Klopp before Brendan Rodgers was sacked
JURGEN KLOPP'S agent has clarified when his client was contacted by Liverpool about the vacancy at Anfield.
New Liverpool manager Klopp is 'The Normal One'
Brendan Rodgers was sacked by the Reds last Sunday, around 90 minutes after they had drawn against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool announced Rodgers' departure at around 6.30pm and then moved swiftly to appoint Klopp, who was on sabbatical following his exit from Borussia Dortmund in May.
Chairman Tom Werner admitted owners, Fenway Sports Group, had been keeping Klopp in their thoughts "for a long time".
But Marc Kosicke insists Liverpool only moved for Klopp after Rodgers was dismissed.

"The first call from Liverpool came after the dismissal as coach of Rodgers," he told Bild.
"Before Liverpool there were naturally quite a few inquiries.
"But Jurgen always asked me not to take it any further."
