According to reports from regional outlets and broadcasters, the newly appointed head coach addressed the press corps directly, stating that he would walk away from the position immediately if reporters cross professional lines or misbehave.
Alongside Klopp’s arrival, a Dutch assistant has also been added to the coaching staff, a development that multiple outlets described as a long-sought ambition realized for the federation.
