Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has hailed the job Jurgen Klopp has managed to do at the Anfield club.

Klopp succeeded where Benitez failed in getting the club over the hump to their first Premier League title.

Given they had not won the English league title in decades before Klopp, Benitez admits the German has earned the right to leave when he pleases.

“I have an advantage, which is that I have people in Liverpool and also people at the club, so more or less, I know how it has happened," said Celta Vigo coach Benitez on how he can analyze Klopp's greatness.

"I only have positive words about Klopp, because he is my friend and I have a good relationship with him.

"He [Klopp] has done and is doing an enormous job. Everything I can say about Klopp and Liverpool is positive.

“I know something else from inside, and it has more merit than being there. He goes and speaks up, giving the club time to reorganize, which, from another perspective, is also very German, because they do notify in advance, so it is not a shock.

“Let's hope Liverpool will do well for now and when another coach comes too. I hope the best for the club."
