Published on December 6, 2019, a peculiar trend emerged in the Premier League, where several managers were sacked after suffering defeats at the hands of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
One such manager was Marco Silva, who parted ways with Everton after a 5-2 thumping at the hands of Liverpool.
However, Silva is not the only manager to have fallen victim to Klopp's Liverpool. Here are four other managers who were sacked after suffering defeats at the hands of the Reds.
Francesco Guidolin, Swansea, 2016 ¶
Francesco Guidolin was on the brink of the sack in 2016, and a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool proved to be the final straw for the Italian manager.
Slaven Bilic, West Ham, 2017 ¶
Slaven Bilic's West Ham reign ended in November 2017, coincidentally after a 4-1 loss at home to Klopp's Liverpool.
Slavisa Jokanovic, Fulham, 2018 ¶
Slavisa Jokanovic was ultimately sacked after a 2-0 loss to Liverpool, which marked a turning point in Fulham's relegation journey.
Jose Mourinho, Manchester United, 2018 ¶
Jose Mourinho's high-profile sacking in December 2018 was also linked to a 3-1 humiliation at Anfield, which marked a significant decline in the team's performance.
