Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Arne Slot can contact him for advice once the Dutchman gets his feet under the desk at Anfield this summer. The Feyenoord head coach is set to take over from Klopp next season and undertake the mammoth task of replacing an iconic Reds figurehead who is so beloved on Merseyside.

Klopp’s penultimate home game sees Tottenham travel to Anfield on Sunday, with the Liverpool faithful set to pay homage to the 56-year-old and thank him for his services once again, before bidding farewell two weeks later in the final game of the season against Wolves.

But even though Klopp will be onto pastures new, he still plans to help Liverpool and Slot in any way possible, reaching out and informing his replacement that Klopp’s phone will be on should his successor want to reach out for any advice.

“It is not my decision,” Klopp said when asked about the process of Liverpool’s hiring of a new head coach. “I am not in a position to give advice. When new people come in, if they want to know something they can call me - the whole world has my number.

“We can speak about absolutely everything, I love talking about everything in this club. I love talking with each person, it’s no problem. But it’s not about me or up to me to be available to ask he or she. It’s no problem, I will give whatever I know about.”

With Liverpool unable to add to their Carabao Cup success this season, but qualification to next season’s Champions League already confirmed, they can take their foot off the gas and enjoy the final three games of the campaign without consequences.

And Klopp plans to do just that, soaking up the atmosphere and creating memories by enjoying his last few moments in charge of Liverpool, rather than stressing over the possibilities and performances before sailing off into the sunset.

“That’s my idea definitely,” Klopp explained as he previewed his final few weeks in charge after lashing out at broadcaster TNT Sports. “It would be crazy if I wouldn’t do it. It needs a bit of convincing to be happy with Champions League qualification but it is still allowed. It doesn’t help if you lose the next game, especially at home, and lose to Aston Villa and Wolves.

“So it’s not enjoying in a way. It’s football. The only way to enjoy football is if you win games and that is what we will try. That is why we train really. We prepare the boys, we use the time we have now, and let’s see what we can do. But yes my plan is to enjoy it.”
