00:00 Today it's mixed, but I'm not as emotional as I will be when it comes to it finally.
00:05 I don't know 100 per cent about the reaction of the supporters,
00:13 but the reaction of the players was top.
00:16 It was really good, we know each other so long,
00:19 that I know I don't say things like that and walk away, so I am here and I am fully here.
00:27 When Jürgen joined us in 2015 he talked about leaving the club in a better place than he found it,
00:34 and I think if you look at where we are today versus where we were when he joined us,
00:40 there's absolutely no doubt that he's done that.
00:43 I'm not in the mood to think about that, to be honest.
00:45 I do that here today because it had to be done,
00:47 but I don't have to remember anything now.
00:53 In my idol world, the best memories are still to come.
00:57 This is the best club in the world, it's outstanding, everything about it.
01:01 Being an honourable scouser, I would have known that before,
01:06 but it's probably one of the best things I could have ever achieved in my life.
01:10 Obviously the ride that we've been on has been extraordinary,
01:15 and certainly his success, leadership, who he is as a person, charisma,
01:21 but the relationships that have been created, the team that's been built here,
01:29 is obviously a massive credit to him.
01:32 In this world, in football especially, you have a few faces most of the time,
01:38 the club manager, and people like Billy or others who do an incredible job,
01:43 you don't see that often.
01:44 That's just how you live this kind of business,
01:47 in Germany it's slightly different, but here it's like that.
01:49 It looks like I do all the work, I don't, I can't, and I don't.
01:54 I'm not in the mood for saying thank you,
01:58 I should have five million times, and will do that,
02:02 these things will all happen, now it's the rest of the season.
02:05 This is really an announcement that Jurgen and we are making,
02:11 and after today we are focused on the campaign ahead,
02:16 and the opportunity that we have, competing on four fronts,
02:20 and making the 23/24 campaign something that supporters can look back on with enjoyment.
02:28 I'm convinced as well, in the right moment, because the club needs time
02:33 to plan the future while we are sorting the president.
02:39 I wish for the future this club just the very, very, very best,
02:44 and for now I'm still here and can help them to achieve the best possible.
02:51 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:55 I could talk now about Norwich, if I'm 100 per cent honest,
02:59 but I get it that you are now today not too interested in that.
