EPL: Great man, he contributed to my progress – Mane on Klopp leaving Liverpool

Former Liverpool winger Sadio Mane has described manager Jurgen Klopp as a great man.

Mane, who said this while reacting to Klopp’s decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, said the German contributed to his progress.

The Senegal international also said Klopp is a ‘living legend’ and joked that he would bring him to manage his club Bourges Foot 18.

“He said he was leaving Liverpool? Maybe he will come here (laughs). He is someone who left his mark on world football, and personally, he contributed a lot to my progress,” the Al-Nassr star said, as quoted by The Liverpool Echo.

“He is a great man, a living legend, who brought a lot, a lot to Liverpool. All the work he did there will, I think, be forever engraved in the memory of all the supporters.”
