Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool veteran James Milner has a few more years in him.

The 33-year-old was an integral part of the Reds dressing room last season, helping his side win a Champions League trophy.

And Klopp added that he could see Milner cutting his teeth as a coach at Anfield in the future, but not for a while yet.

"There are still a few good years to come [from Milner] and I'm not sure if we already have to think about what he can do after his career," Klopp said.

"But I'm pretty sure for a guy like him there's always a door open at our club, 100 per cent.

"You could see in different moments last season how much it meant to him, four years back [when Milner joined on a free transfer] I don't know what people in Liverpool thought about him, but it was a brilliant idea in that moment because without players like Milly success in football is impossible."
