'They have another 40 years': Jurgen Klopp on whether he needs a statue at Anfield

There are already calls for Liverpool to build a statue of Jurgen Klopp to celebrate the German's achievements at the club.

However, the boss himself is not too fussed about the idea.

"A statue for me? Of course, I don’t need it," Klopp said ahead of his final game as the Liverpool manager.

"Do I need a key of the city? I am German, we don’t do that.

"When I was sitting there getting the freedom of the city, I had no clue what to expect and people come in with their fancy hats and the chains and it was one of the best experiences I ever had in my life and I didn’t expect that.

"When they did the speeches I had to get next to myself to think ‘they cannot be talking about you, it’s not possible’ and it was really great. The people do what they want to do.

"Do I think I need a statue? Definitely not. I am not sure what Bill Shankly or all the other former managers thought. They have another 40 years to think about a statue for me."
