Jurgen Klopp invites Sven-Goran Eriksson to be Liverpool manager for a day
Former England boss Eriksson has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Jurgen Klopp has opened the door for Sven-Goran Eriksson to spend the day as Liverpool manager.
Eriksson revealed earlier this month that he had in a “best case” scenario around a year to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
During a round of TV interviews upon revealing his health issues, former England boss Eriksson disclosed his lifelong love for Liverpool and how he always wished to be manager of the club.
“I don’t know him, unfortunately not,” Klopp was quoted as saying in various newspapers.
“I know him without knowing him, we never met.
“Yes, it was obviously very touching news when you heard about it. I heard for the first time about his admiration or love for Liverpool and that he was a fan for his whole life.
“The only thing I can say is absolutely he’s very welcome to come here and he can sit in my seat in my office and do my job for a day if he wants. That’s no problem.
“Being on the sideline might be a little bit more difficult. To have him here and show him everything and how this wonderful club developed over the years, I think that’s definitely something we will tell him.
“He can come over and have a few wonderful hours here, I’m sure.”
