Marc Kosicke, feels that the link between the clubs – they all sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone as their anthem – meant he was fated to join Liverpool: “It’s a pretty good match. It’s a bit like destiny that it has been Liverpool the new club for Klopp. Every club where Jurgen was manager until now the fans singing “You’ll never walk alone” before the games. It was like that in Mainz and Dortmund. And Liverpool is the cradle of that song.”

The agent admits that both he and Klopp felt the manager could be on the club’s shortlist were Rodgers to be sacked: “We had the feeling that we could imagine Jurgen to be a candidate there if something happens. Then Brendan Rodgers was sacked and the CEO contacted us. He asked for a meeting with Jurgen and the owners if we are interested. 

“He found Liverpool very interesting but we had a bit of free time ahead of us and some other plans. He wanted to go to the Caribbean with his family, watch the Super Bowl and go skiing. We also had planned an educational trip to the USA to look at other sports,” Marc Kosicke added.

He stressed: “He was aware: If we agree with Liverpool everything would be cancelled. So he wasn’t totally euphoric and persuasiveness from Liverpool were necessary. They had to convince him of their structures and their visions. Finally the personal things fitted and he said to himself: I want to go there!”
