Franz Beckenbauer has hailed Jurgen Klopp as one of the best coaches in the world, and has urged Liverpool to take up the opportunity to hire the German.
Klopp is expected to become the next Reds boss, with the club hoping to confirm him on a three-year contract by the end of the week.
Legend Beckenbauer has seen plenty of the 48-year-old during his time as a pundit on German television, and believes the pairing of Klopp and Liverpool would be a good one.
He said: “He is fantastic.
“He is one of the best coaches I know in the whole world, and he was really a milestone for Borussia Dortmund.
“He took over the club and made them into a world-class team. If Liverpool has the chance to sign Jurgen Klopp then they should do it.
“He likes to talk. There are not many coaches left in the world that like to talk so much to the players but he is one of them.“Liverpool is also one of the biggest clubs in the world, so Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp is definitely a good combination.
“He is also a winner.”
