  • Barcelona loanee Philippe Coutinho revealed that former boss Jurgen Klopp was very supportive of his loan move to Bayern Munich.

    After a forgettable season at the Spanish club, the Brazilian was shipped on loan to Bayern, a club Klopp knows very well from his time as Borussia Dortmund manager.

    The pair shared a memorable time at Liverpool where Coutinho established himself as a world-class player but it has been downhill for the midfielder ever since his move to Barcelona.

    Coutinho revealed that Klopp wished him good luck ahead of a fresh chapter at a big club in a great competition.

    “He sent me a message and wished me good luck,” Coutinho told Sport Bild . “He told me that Bayern is a big club and the Bundesliga is a great competition. He said he is very happy to see me there.”

    The Brazilian continued to speak highly of his former manager and his impact on Liverpool.

    “He is simply an amazing coach, one of the best in the world,” he said.

    “He is a true leader. I learned so much from him, especially on a psychological level.

    “He always finds the right words, both before the game and during the game, and he always manages to get you back on track with the next opponent.

    “He changed Liverpool and made them really strong again. It was a big honour to work with him.”
