'It will be a sad moment' - Liverpool legend speaks on Klopp's leaving rumor

Liverpool legend John Aldridge says it will be 'a sad moment' when Jurgen Klopp quit Anfield - but is confident the manager will leave the club.

Former Liverpool striker Aldridge says Reds fans shouldn't worry too much about Klopp's exit.

"It will be a sad moment when the time does come for him to say goodbye but hopefully that's a long way off yet," Aldridge said in his column for the Liverpool Echo .

The 61-year-old said of Klopp: "He's so passionate, he really seems to get the Liverpool way and I'd love to see him stay at Anfield for as long as possible.

"But things change sometimes and we all have to understand he's a human being, situations like Alex Ferguson who stayed in the same job for getting on for 30 years don't really happen anymore.

"Jurgen's from a different country and has his own family back there.

"He's put so much into his time here and throughout his career that the time may come when he wants some time for himself, and we all have to appreciate and respect that."
