Jurgen Klopp has said he was denied the chance to visit Boris Becker during his stay in prison because the Liverpool manager was too great a security risk.
Becker, 55, was granted release from his UK imprisonment on December 15 after serving eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence for tax evasion-related charges. The tennis legend was sentenced in late April and incarcerated at HMP sites in Wandsworth and Oxfordshire.
Upon his return to Germany, Becker appeared in a television interview and said his 'good friend' was prevented from paying him a visit. And Klopp has since verified those claims, explaining that their communications were limited to phone calls during his confinement.
