Jurgen Klopp has reiterated his belief that Steven Gerrard could replace him as Liverpool manager one day ahead of facing Aston Villa on Tuesday night.
The German signed a new two-year contract extension with the Reds last month, extending his stay at Anfield until at least 2026. Meanwhile, Gerrard is under-contract at Villa Park until 2025 after signing a three-and-a-half year dear when joining the Villans from Rangers last November.
The Liverpool legend has often found himself linked with a return to the Reds as a potential successor to Klopp, with Gerrard making no secret of his desire to manage his boyhood club one day. And the German admitted he sees no reason why the Villa boss couldn't take over from him on Merseyside at some point in the future.
