Liverpool summer signing backs decision to sack manager
Liverpool midfielder Roberto Firmino has backed the club for sacking Brendan Rodgers.
The Brazilian was brought to Anfield by Rodgers over the summer, in a deal worth £29million, but he still believes the right decision was made when they chose to part ways with him.
Rodgers had three years at Liverpool, spending around £300m on transfers, but following a 1-1 draw with Everton, he was sacked by the club and replaced by Jurgen Klopp.
Speaking about Rodgers’ dismissal, Firmino admitted that the club made the right decision to sack the manager simply because results weren’t good enough.
Right Decision
He told Sky Sports’ Barclays Premier League Weekly: “It was a short period [under Rodgers] but I considered him a great manager but I didn’t get much playing time under him.
“When results don’t come along, it is a must to switch managers.
“I think Klopp has the typical Germany mentality, which I am used to as I played for four years in Germany.
“I do like his German methods, he concentrates and focuses on what he wants. I think he will help us. We are already getting what he wants from us.
“He brings good vibes, we are on a positive path and we are always aiming high.”
