Jurgen Klopp: 'I share Liverpool's vision, ambitions'

Jurgen Klopp says that he chose to become Liverpool manager because he shares the 'vision and ambitions' of the club.

Liverpool's new manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he chose to accept the job because he shares the 'vision and ambitions' of the club's owners.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss was officially appointed as the Reds' new manager last night.

The club moved swiftly to find a replacement for Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked last Sunday, three hours after Liverpool drew 1-1 with Everton at Goodison Park.

Klopp has signed a three-year contract, which is reportedly worth £7m a year, making him the club's highest-paid manager ever.

In his first interview with the club's official website, Klopp said: "[The owners] have presented to me a very clear vision and I share their ambitions and model of work.

"I am very excited by the challenge we face and eager to start the job and begin implementing our ideas and ways of working with this team. This is a talented group of players and there is still much to compete for this season.

"Liverpool has extraordinary supporters and Anfield is a world renowned home, with an incredible atmosphere. I want to build a great relationship with these supporters and give them memories to cherish. I hope we can feed off each other's energy and that we take this journey together."

Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool will be against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on October 17.
