Klopp reluctant to weigh in on City fallout out of respect for Guardiola
MUNICH: Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said his respect for Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City sides that battled Liverpool in some of the Premier League’s closest title races has left him reluctant to comment on the fallout from City’s financial rules case.
MUNICH: Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his respect for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and the factors that prevented him from publicly commenting on the fallout from City's financial rules case. City was found guilty of serious financial breaches by an independent commission on Tuesday, though the club maintains their innocence and may appeal, with sanctions not yet determined.
Known for joking about attending a parade if Liverpool were retrospectively awarded titles, Klopp no longer feels that way. In an interview on Wednesday, he said his deep respect for Guardiola and City's high-level football had left him reluctant to comment further. Klopp, who led Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League titles during his nine-year tenure at Anfield, remained confident in the club's achievements, regardless of the case's outcome.
