Klopp Welcomes Eriksson to Anfield
Jurgen Klopp welcomes Sven-Goran Eriksson, endorsing his presence at Anfield and even offering his seat in the office.
“I heard for the first time about his admiration or love for Liverpool and that he was a fan for his whole life,
I heard now about the Legends and stuff like that. I’m not in charge of that.
The only thing I can say is absolutely he’s very welcome to come here and he can sit in my seat in my office and do my job for a day if he wants. That’s no problem.
Being on the sideline might be a little bit more difficult. To have him here and show him everything and how this wonderful club developed over the years, I think that’s definitely something we will tell him.
He can come over and have a few wonderful hours here, I’m sure.”
