TEŽAK UDARAC ZA LIVERPOOL Nakon 17 godina Kloppa napustio najbliži suradnik, čovjek iz sjene, Srbin kojem pripisuju velike zasluge za uspjehe Nijemca

Liverpoolov menadžer Jürgen Klopp iznenada je ostao bez svojeg dugogodišnjeg pomoćnika i suradnika Željka Buvača.

Riječ je o bosanskom Srbinu koji je svoju odluku Kloppu rekao nekoliko dana prije prve polufinalne utakmice Lige prvaka protiv Rome.

Buvač je bio Kloppov najbliži suradnik u posljednjih 17 godina, čovjek iz sjene s kojim je njemački trener surađivao u Mainzu, Borussiji Dortmund i Liverpoolu.

According to club sources, It is understood that LFC Assistant Manager Zeljko Buvac has left the club following a dispute with Jurgen Klopp. It has been said the two have ceased talking to each other during games and that Buvac had been excluded from tactical meetings. • “Klopp and Buvac had a big falling out, Buvac has been left completely out of the loop of late. They stand apart in training, Buvac doesn't go to tactical meetings, and he is no longer involved in picking the team. In the past, he was the only one who had Klopp's ear. The relationship had broken down, and the players have been told Buvac is gone.” • Buvac has worked as a managerial partnership with Klopp since the German was placed in charge of Mainz in February 2001. During their seven years at the club the pair took Mainz into the Bundesliga and UEFA before being hired by Borussia Dortmund. Hopefully none of this is true. Walk On Reds

"Sretno Liverpoolovim igračima i navijačima. Bilo je dobro, ali došlo je vrijeme za novo poglavlje", napisao je Buvač u svojoj oproštajnoj poruci.

Mnogi tvrde da Klopp bez Buvača ne bi postigao ono što je uspio u trenerskoj karijeri. Englezi su mu nadjenuli nadimak 'Mozak'.

Good luck to Liverpool players and fans I had good times but the time has come for a new chapter
