I Didn’t Understand Why Roy Hodgson Kept Coaching Till 2024 – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to share his thoughts on Roy Hodgson following his decision to step down as Crystal Palace manager. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he really did not understand why Roy was still coaching at his age, but no one will forget how good his teams were at the several clubs he has managed.

Klopp added that hearing Hodgson took ill in training last week was shocking, so he hopes he is doing well.

His words, “I think I said a couple of times I don’t really understand why he is still doing the job! With my situation he’ll probably understand a bit better, but I don’t understand what he is doing! One of the greatest I ever met, definitely, for that long time in the business [he is a] human full of experience. [He] trend-set in the beginning; he kept his idea. It’s always like this when it’s not going well. That’s the problem in our business then people forget a little bit how good the times were before. I think Crystal Palace could be like that if there were some supporters who were shouting for him to get the sack. They definitely forgot how good a job he did in the few times when he was there.

I hope he is doing well. I hope because that obviously was a shock last week when I heard about that he was taken ill in training. That’s nothing that should happen at all. I hope he is doing well and when he is doing well then I wish him just the very best of times that he can have and stay healthy. That would be the most important but it’s a bit of a shame that I couldn’t say properly goodbye to him because we faced each other quite frequently and like each other a lot. But, yeah, that’s not the biggest problem.”

WOW.
