The Reds boss took over from Brendan Rodgers back in 2015 and knew that he was stepping up to a level he had not experienced previously
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he felt he would be sacked by Liverpool if he didn't oversee an improvement in the club's fortunes quickly enough when he first arrived.
The Reds appointed the former Borussia Dortmund head coach in October 2015, with the Merseysiders having finished in sixth place in the table the previous season under Brendan Rodgers.
And the German, who has since guided Liverpool to a Champions League crown and was on the verge of securing the Premier League title prior to the coronavirus pandemic, knew that managing the Reds was a step up that came with consequences for a lack of progress.
