Klopp wins fourth Manager of the Month

Jurgen Klopp has been named Manager of the Month for a fourth time.

Klopp won the Premier League’s August award after Liverpool recorded a flawless start to the new campaign with four successive victories.

The European champions kicked off their 2019/20 season with a 4-1 win over Norwich City before putting Southampton, Arsenal and Burnley to the sword.

They also claimed one of the first pieces of silverware in the form of the UEFA Super Cup by defeating Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out.

But Klopp, who was last named Manager of the Month in March, has warned that the Reds must be braced for the rigours of a testing few weeks ahead.

“I said before to the boys, the coaches, we won the Manager of the Month award again. It’s really nice,” he told Premier League Productions.

“It shows the last month was obviously good; the boys won four games in the league, won the Super Cup. We lost the Community Shield but that game was good as well.

“The start was good so far and this is proof of that. Thank you very much.”

He added: “It will again be a very difficult season, a very long season. September is coming and we have seven games in 21 days – that’s an interesting number.

“We have to make sure we can win as many games as possible because all of them feel like finals.

“You start now against Newcastle, then we go to Napoli [in the Champions League group stage] and then we go to Chelsea.

“We have four away games in that period, interesting, and a lot of travelling. They are things which could be tiring but when you win football games, they are not – and that’s what we try.”
