Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has been charged by the FA following his red card for improper misconduct against Manchester City in the Premier League. By Friday, Klopp must answer to the allegation of improper behavior. After yelling at assistant referee Gary Beswick for failing to call a foul on Mohamed Salah during the 1-0 victory at Anfield, the Liverpool manager was dismissed. After the match, Klopp stated it was “about emotion” and accepted responsibility for the red card, admitting he “went over the top” but feeling he had not disrespected the referee. Klopp stated that he anticipated leading his players at Anfield before to the Wednesday night game against West Ham and the FA charge, although he later acknowledged that he should have handled the issue better.
Following the squad’s Sunday Premier League game against Liverpool, police have opened an inquiry into alleged criminal damage to the Manchester City team coach. According to Merseyside Police, they received a complaint regarding an alleged incident on Tuesday.
Following Sunday’s turbulent Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City, Klopp and Pep Guardiola’s irate touchline outbursts have brought attention to the behavior of managers ahead of a midweek round of games. In a match that was broadcast to hundreds of millions of people worldwide, Liverpool’s Klopp was issued a red card in the second half for passionately berating the referees after a foul was not called on Salah. Guardiola, whose team lost 1-0, was enraged and yelled at referee Anthony Taylor after a VAR review disallowed a goal by Phil Foden for a foul. Ref Support UK, a renowned nonprofit that supports referees in grassroots football, where abuse is frequent, criticized the antics of both managers.
After the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed regret and said he likely deserved his punishment. He also received support from other managers on Tuesday, including West Ham’s David Moyes, who expressed his hope that the German would be on the sidelines on Wednesday when his team travels to Anfield for a Premier League match.
