Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has likened coach Simone Inzaghi to Jurgen Klopp.

Immobile played for Liverpool manager Klopp at Borussia Dortmund.

He said, “Klopp is a great expert in football and I always said that I'd have liked to work with him when I was in my best form. He is a complete coach, he has everything.

“Having said that, he really reminds me of Simone Inzaghi, as they are very similar in their motivational skills, albeit in slightly different ways.

“At the time, I had offers from Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, but had already given my word to the German club and I am a man of my word. Borussia had reached the Champions League Final, won the Bundesliga and had Klopp on their bench.

“That season didn't go the way I wanted, but it wasn't that bad either. It was a difficult period for the team overall and I scored 10 goals, four of them in the Champions League."
