JAKARTA - The position of Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is observed to be still safe after the big defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Klopp is said to have avoided being sacked and is still entrusted with managing the Reds.

The 2-5 defeat to Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League was one of the worst defeats in the club's history. Moreover, at first, Liverpool won 2-0 through Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

This result was a negative thing that they received at home and had raised the issue of Klopp's position starting to be threatened. However, in reality, this result will not make Liverpool's management fire Klopp.

As reported by Express quoted on Thursday, February 24, Klopp will remain in his position because the club owes a debt of gratitude to this German coach.

Klopp is a successful manager with Liverpool. Since coming to Anfield in 2015, the former Borussia Dortmund boss has won a series of prestigious titles. Starting from the Premier League title, and Champions League, to the Club World Cup.

Klopp's achievement in presenting the 2019/2020 Premier League trophy is one of the highlights. That's because the title is the fruit of waiting for 30 years since Liverpool controlled the English Premier League.

Klopp's success in bringing the title was later assessed as a debt of gratitude from the club to the manager. That reason also makes the club management still give trust.

The Reds officials actually understood that the presence of the 55-year-old figure would be very important for the future of the club. Moreover, they plan to rebuild the championship squad to win back the Champions League and English Premier League champions.
