He said: “I love [Jurgen] Klopp, and he can do what he wants because I have big respect for him and consider him to be one of the best coaches in the world.”
Klopp also shared his thoughts on De Zerbi in his post match press conference, revealing the deep level of respect he holds for the Seagulls boss.
“I could not respect more for what he is doing. Honestly, I’m a real supporter of it,” Klopp said.
“I’m a football lover and if somebody comes in and has the impact he’s had on football – it should not be underestimated.”
