Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has opened up on the departure of his former assistant manager Zeljko Buvac for the first time.
The pair had worked together since 2001 while at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and eventually Liverpool. Klopp had previously described Buvac as 'the brain' and was seen as a key figure in the Reds' coaching set up.
The now-60-year-old left the club on the eve of the huge Champions League semi-final second-leg at Roma nearly four years ago - although his departure was only officially confirmed later on in 2018. 'Personal reasons' were cited for his sudden exit but otherwise little has been said since on the subject.
