Exclusive: “A legend” – Liverpool warned they’ll miss Jurgen Klopp after final win vs Chelsea

Fabrizio Romano believes Liverpool will miss legendary manager Jurgen Klopp once he leaves the club at the end of the season.

The Reds boss lifted yet another trophy with the Merseyside giants yesterday after a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

Virgil van Dijk scored towards the end of extra time to give Klopp’s side the cup in what was a pretty close encounter at Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool fans will no doubt be celebrating after this latest triumph, but there’s no doubt that it’s also a reminder of the big job in store for whoever comes in as the club’s next manager.

Klopp has done tremendous work at LFC since taking over in 2015, and he could soon add to his trophy haul as his side are top of the Premier League table this season.

Of course, Liverpool are a well-run club, so will likely have a good plan in place for life after Klopp, but Romano has spoken exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column about just how much the German tactician will be missed.

Romano added, however, that he felt this Liverpool victory could give them a boost in the title race.

He said: “For the more immediate future, though, I think this win,
