Alex Manninger has no regrets over his time with Liverpool.

Manninger has admitted he joined Liverpool with view to becoming a goalkeeper coach at Melwood after he hung up his gloves.

The Austrian told The Krone, “The idea was there. But I played 20 of my 22 professional years abroad, and at the age of 40, that's enough.

“I'm catching up with a lot of things that did not happen during my career."

Since retiring in 2017, the 42-year-old, who never made a senior appearance for the Reds, has reportedly become a full-time professional carpenter.

Asked about what it is was like to work with Jurgen Klopp, he admitted: “[He is] a coach who has understood every fibre of modern football, is straightforward [and] never seeks excuses."
