Jurgen Klopp: 'I would quit if I ever thought Liverpool cannot be successful'

Jurgen Klopp stresses that he would resign as Liverpool manager if he ever thought the club was not able to compete for silverware.

Jurgen Klopp has defiantly claimed that he would resign as Liverpool manager if he ever thought the club was not able to compete for silverware.

The Reds, who currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, host second-placed Manchester United in Saturday's early kickoff.

United and Manchester City have set the pace in the league so far this term but Klopp believes that Liverpool, who are seven points adrift of the top two, can still mount a title challenge.

"In the moment when I think we cannot be successful, and there is only consolation, I go," Klopp told reporters on Friday.

"Why should I be here as some kind of caretaker until the world creates a manager who can be more successful? That makes no sense. Of course I am really convinced.

"Other managers have different ways to do it, other clubs have different ways to do it. We have our way.

"We were fourth [last season]. Not perfect, but okay. Could we have caught Chelsea? No. But we were not too far from City or Tottenham and now we want to make the next step."

Liverpool's last top-flight title was in 1990, while their last trophy was the 2012 EFL Cup.
