Klopp: Why Liverpool quickly felt like home

Jurgen Klopp says he could've grown up in Liverpool.

The German leaves as Liverpool manager this summer after nine years in charge.

He told the club's website: "I could have grown up here, definitely.

"I'm not a city person, I'm obviously from the countryside so if I don't say hello to the lady in the street, when I arrived at home she'd call my mum and say, 'what's wrong with your boy?'. So that would never happen in a big city. But a little bit... Liverpool kept that.

"The main thing is still the people - the togetherness, the connection, the heart - I knew I will love being here. It became home for us and that's pretty special and we feel really blessed and privileged we got that opportunity."
