Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has clashed with former Bayern Munich and Germany star Mehmet Scholl.

Klopp took exception to comments Scholl made about Edin Terzic, the 38-year-old who was recently appointed as Borussia Dortmund's caretaker manager.

Terzic previously worked as a scout and assistant coach at Dortmund's youth academy, where he reported to Klopp, who was first-team manager.

Scholl had said of Terzic: "There is not much in his words. It's like saying the sun will shine tomorrow. His analysis is not tangible."

Klopp responded by saying: "What is Mehmet Scholl's raison d'être to judge coaches? It's kind of like talking about car manufacturing. I have no idea about that either."

The Liverpool boss added: "Mehmet Scholl feels called to break the baton with young German coaches. I hate to comment on such things, but he always talks about people he doesn't know."

Klopp was eager to point out Scholl's lack of impact as a coach. Scholl previously coached Bayern Munich's reserve team in two separate stints but didn't go on to coach at senior level.

And Klopp added: "He tried it as a trainer, he couldn't do it, and now he's talking about it as if he had eaten the wisdom with spoons.

"He talks about how he can no longer hear all of this. This was the first time that one of the trainers spoke. How can you no longer want to hear something from someone who expresses himself for the first time?"
