Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, at a manager’s conference has called for a change to the VAR system.

The summit was held at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, hosting European managers including Klopp, his rival, Pep Guardiola, Arsenal’s Unai Emery, former Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri, Ajax’s Erik ten Hag, and Paris-Saint Germain’s Thomas Tuchel.

According to Klopp, VAR will never be 100 per cent accurate but it can be improved.

“VAR can be improved, it can. It will never be 100 per cent accurate, everybody knows that. But there are a couple of things that are not right,” Klopp told the conference.

“With VAR, handball, offside, it is clear we have to keep on improving.

“There were good ideas from UEFA (about) how we can sort things from the referees, so everybody is in on it.

“There is still space for mistakes. These things are done by human beings and none of us is perfect. Nobody is asking for perfection, you just want to have the right decisions.”
