Harry Redknapp has given his thoughts on Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Redknapp understands the demands and lifestyle of Premier League management.
Redknapp held a number of positions at Tottenham, West Ham and Portsmouth during his illustrious managerial career. Apart from the occasional TV appearance, Redknapp is no longer involved in the game and is now free to talk about the beautiful game from afar.When Klopp left Liverpool in the summer, Redknapp believes the midfielder could have been caught up in the madness of modern football.
In an interview with iNews, Redknapp discussed the situation and felt that the German player may need a break due to the intense pace of the current match.”When you make that money, everybody says, ‘Oh, you’re living a great life.’ He clearly feels he needs a break. You won’t believe it. I saw him one day when we won at Fulham and that smile was there and he still loved it. But you don’t know the bottom. Pep did it. He took a year off and came back. He will come back and every club in the world wants him,” said Redknapp. “You can no longer escape social networks, television.
When we started, you stayed in the tunnel and only gave interviews to a few newspapers. Then suddenly Asfan comes in, it’s a press conference after the match and as soon as you leave the pitch someone puts a microphone under your nose, you’ve had a bad day and the last thing you want to do is ask a question. But now that’s the challenge.”
