It's not up to me to judge, but it all sounds really good to me."Klopp wasn't involved in hiring SlotWhile Klopp was a towering presence at Liverpool, he clarified that he had no hand in choosing his successor before leaving the club."I don't know anything about it, I'm not involved in the process, just to clarify that," Klopp said "What I would like about it, if he is the one, is that he wants to take the job – come on, let's go, excited."In a chat with ESPN Netherlands, Klopp said: "Arne, yeah.

And the league game [against Ipswich], the second half was obviously really good."But it's not important that I like it, you can see he is a very good coach and the team, I know now better than most, is a really good squad, is a really good team.
