Klopp apologizes: missed mane transfer still hurts!

Dortmund, Deutschland - Jürgen Klopp, the successful Liverpool coach, recently apologized to Borussia Dortmund fans because he missed the chance to sign Sadio Mané at the time. Mané, a former Red Bull Salzburg player, could have switched to BVB in 2014, but Klopp decided not to get him. "There are a few Dortmund fans here, so I have to apologize that I didn't bring Sadio Mané to Dortmund," said Klopp at an event, as the Krone . Klopp, who was a coach of Dortmund at the time, regrets the decision to this day, especially since Mané later came to Liverpool and put an impressive career there.

During his time as a BVB coach, Klopp should have realized the potential in Mané. The Senegalese is now 33 years old and plays in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr. Klopp admitted that he could not only have opted for Mané, but also for other players like Kevin de Bruyne. "I think it generally makes little sense to apologize for something that lies in the past," Klopp explained as he reflected on his mistakes. Nevertheless, the missed opportunity with Mané remains a dark point in his coaching career, like the Tribunal Football reported.
