Klopp apologizes to Ferguson for "waking him up at dawn"
The German coach for Liverpool, England, Jurgen Klopp, revealed that he had apologized to former Manchester United coach "Sir Alex Ferguson" after waking him from sleep in the early morning hours.
The former "Red Devils" coach had sent a congratulatory message to Klopp after his team won the Premier League title after a lean 30-year period, following Manchester City's loss to Chelsea last June, which contributed to the crowning of Liverpool.
Klopp decided to return the salute to Ferguson after the celebrations for winning the league ended, and the time was set at 3.30 am.
Klopp did not expect the phone to be near the 78-year-old coach when he sent the message, prompting Ferguson to later say that Klopp had woken him up by mistake.
The Reds coach explained what happened during his press conference in preparation for his team’s upcoming match against Leeds United, returning to the top flight, saying, “The problem is that I came late to my room that night and I could not sleep immediately, so I checked the messages that I received and one It was from Alex Ferguson. "
"I think I answered in a very polite way. The clock was around 3:30 or 4 am, and I did not expect his phone to be next to his bed. I did not want to wake him up. If that happened, then excuse me, Alex!"
