Jurgen Klopp has insisted he will not be celebrating his first year as Liverpool manager.
Saturday marks exactly 12 months since the former Borussia Dortmund coach succeeded Brendan Rodgers at the Anfield helm.
Since then, the Reds have reached the League Cup and Europa League finals as well as making an impressive start to the new Premier League campaign.
But Klopp remains in no mood to commemorate his personal milestone, with the visit of Manchester United ahead on October 17.
He said: “I have no time, and I am not in the mood for reflection, to be honest.
“It’s a year, I’m a year older and all this s***, but everything else is good.
“It’s not perfect, but in a good way. That’s what we hoped, that’s what we said. After one year standing here, we can talk like this.
“There was doubt, there was a lot of rumour around me. People said, ‘Obviously he was a good coach at Dortmund but a German managing here doesn’t work’. Things like this. That’s better now.
“The thing is, I’m not here for a year, I’m here hopefully for the long term, and it means that we have to use all the information we have until now and learn from it.
“That’s how life works, collecting experience, learning from it and being ready for the next challenge.
“My year is what, October 8, yes? We will not celebrate, I can tell you that. Hopefully nobody brings me a cake.”
