Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is convinced Jurgen Klopp is the right manager for Anfield.

Gerrard believes Liverpool now have the right man at the helm in Klopp, who recently signed a new long-term deal.

“The manager has got that X factor and that little bit of magic about him – the way he goes about things and lifts people," he said.

“You can see how close he is to the players and you can see he's very demanding on the training pitch.

“I think it's a very exciting time to be a Liverpool fan. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they do this year."
