Jurgen Klopp sends Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard a private message after he's sacked

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed he has already sent Reds legend Steven Gerrard a private message following news of his sacking as Aston Villa manager.

The Anfield icon made a promising start to his managerial career when he guided Rangers to the Scottish Premier League title, but things didn't fare quite as well at Villa Park. After 39 games at the helm, Gerrard was relieved of his duties boasting a feeble 33 per cent win record.

The fatal blow to his reign proved to be the dismal display at Craven Cottage on Thursday night when Fulham ran out 3-0 winners against a Villa side that looked second-best throughout the contest. To make matters worse, the travelling faithful could be heard belting out, 'You're getting sacked in the morning' from the away end.
