Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is on the verge of managing his final game for the club - and goalkeeper Alisson has explained what his manager has meant to him.

Klopp takes charge of final game for Liverpool on Sunday as his side host Wolves at Anfield in the last game of the Premier League season.

The encounter will bring to a close nearly a decade in the Reds dugout for the German, who confirmed in January he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of this campaign.

During his time at Anfield, Klopp transformed Liverpool into English and European champions, improving the players he had at his disposal, as well as adding world class talent to his squad.

One of the latter was goalkeeper Alisson, who arrived in the summer of 2018 from Italian side Roma for £66.8m, which briefly made the Brazilian the most expensive stopper in history.

Alisson has gone on to become Liverpool's first choice goalkeeper, winning the Premier League and Champions League, as well as the FA Cup and League Cup.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Alisson is among many Liverpool players past and present who have talked about Klopp's impact and influence on them and their careers.

And the goalkeeper spoke of how his manager was there to support him during the tragic moment when he lost his father.

The Brazilian said: "Jurgen is a really special guy for me personally. At the darkest moments of my life, when I lost my dad, he was really close to me.

"He helped me a lot. Not only that, but I improved as a man, as a father, as a friend. Having a leader like him, we have to follow people, good people, and I'm so glad that I could have a manager and a leader like him."

Klopp appeared emotional as he listened to his goalkeeper's comments.

Allison's father passed away aged 57 in 2021 when he drowned in a dam.

The Premier League will be losing a clearly incredible manager, but also an amazing person too when Klopp departs.
