Liverpool boss Klopp on huge landmark game: It means a lot

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will take charge of his 400th game for the club with the visit of Napoli to Anfield on Tuesday night.

Klopp will become only the fourth Reds boss ever to reach the milestone, following Tom Watson, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, and has won 248 of those matches so far.

"[It means] a lot," he told Liverpoolfc.com. "Unfortunately, we lost No.397 and No.399 – that feels really bad, to be honest.

"But in general, and how we all know, that's obviously a number [that] I don't expect the next 20 managers of Liverpool will reach that as well because it's pretty special, I know that, what we achieved over the years.

"It just doesn't feel in the moment like that but it's no problem, the number is still impressive. I'm very grateful for that, that I was allowed to do that.

"But how you can imagine, I'm much more interested in the next 200, 300, I'm not sure, 400 and then we can talk – let me say it like this. But thank you very much, it's a big number and I'm kind of proud of it."
