Jurgen Klopp And Steven Gerrard Spotted Having A Pint Together At Pub Ahead Of Champions League Final

Klopp and Gerrard, meanwhile, have huge respect for each other.

In fact, back in December, the German said Gerrard will “definitely” become Liverpool manager in the future.

“Stevie is doing really well in the moment," Klopp said. "He’s very young still, from a manager’s point of view. So when is the right moment to take the job? Not to say that he’s not able to do it, but how long you want to do it.

“Is it the last job you do? The second job, third job you do? These are questions I cannot answer, but yes, I think it will definitely happen. And good for everybody!”

Gerrard also has ambitions to stand on the Anfield touchline one day. Even during his playing days, he stated he wanted the post. “The dream come true would be to manage Liverpool, when the job becomes available,” Gerrard told Twenty-Four 7 Football magazine in 2013.

But back in November, he was eager to point out that the Aston Villa job was not a stepping stone in that journey.

"You’ll never hear me say it’s a stepping stone," the 41-year-old said. "I’m really honoured and proud to be in this position, I’m all in and I’ll give this job everything it needs to be a success. I’ll be 100% committed.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong in football with having dreams and aspirations. But Liverpool have a world-class coach that they’re very happy with and if he was to sign a lifetime deal I would be very happy for them and him.”

Do you think Steven Gerrard will become Liverpool manager one day?
