Steven Gerrard admitted he was”surprised and flattered” to listen to Liverpool director Jurgen Klopp tipping him as his successor.
Klopp, who had been named the coach of Greatest men on Monday, stated he thinks Rangers boss Gerrard is.
“If Liverpool were to sack me then perhaps Kenny [Dalglish] are the first choice to change me, but they’d probably fetch Stevie from Glasgow,” Klopp told Four Four Two. “Should you ask who should follow with me, I would say Stevie. I help him whenever I can.”
Even though Gerrard, who made 710 appearances for Liverpool and skippered the side towards the Champions League in 2005, was thankful for Klopp’s comments, he expects and hopes that the German will probably be at Anfield for years to come.
“I was surprised and flattered at exactly the same time,” Gerrard said when asked regarding Klopp’s comments. “But when you read this quote very carefully, such as I have, ” said,’when I get sacked tomorrow’ he believes Steven Gerrard must be another Liverpool supervisor.
“Jurgen Klopp’s not getting dismissed tomorrow. I really don’t need him to have. He is doing a fantastic job.
“I’m a Liverpool fan. I’m sure every Liverpool fan on Earth endorses what I’m saying here. We want him to remain for many, many decades and bring to our club as possible as much success.
“But yeah, it was very flattering at the same moment.”
