Kop idol Jamie Carragher has explained why he thinks Jurgen Klopp won't abandon Liverpool for Bayern Munich anytime soon.

The Champions League encounter between the two sides - from which Liverpool prevailed - brought with it some speculation surrounding the German coach's future.

With World Cup winner and Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer telling Sky Germany: "Jurgen Klopp at Bayern. That would be the highlight. Jurgen was the one who taught the Germans how to play football quickly."

But Sky Sports pundit Carragher isn't worried by any speculation and thinks Klopp will stay loyal to Liverpool, he said: "It doesn't really worry me that Franz Beckenbauer says he is the perfect fit for Bayern Munich.

"Jurgen Klopp has only had three clubs in his managerial career, and none of them have been a Bayern Munich-type club, a Real Madrid or that type of club.

"He's always been at clubs where the feeling is you are fighting against those clubs. Maybe that's what brings out the best in Jurgen Klopp.

"Of course there is no doubt top clubs around European football will be looking at Klopp to be their manager one day, but he's at a top club right now."

The former defender believes the Reds manager is at the helm for all the right reasons, he explained: "He's suited firstly because he's a top manager. There's no doubt about that.

"Then there's his personality, his passion on the sidelines resonates with Liverpool supporters. His beliefs away from football, too, and how he likes his football played.

"He resonates with fans on a different level. When he speaks, Liverpool supporters listen. He speaks their type of language, how they like football to be played."

The 51-year-old has built a team that is challenging for the Premier League title and into the last eight of the Champions League - for the second season running.

Bootle-born Carragher understands what it takes to make that connection with fans and believes Klopp 'mirrors Liverpool people', he continued: "It comes back to that energy and passion in his team, and with him on the sidelines. That mirrors Liverpool people and Liverpool supporters at Anfield.

"Liverpool people have just taken to him. How long that love affair lasts? It depends on how successful the club are.

"There are a lot of top managers in the world. I'm not saying Jurgen Klopp is the best manager in the world, by a long stretch, but what I would say is I don't think any manager is a better fit for Liverpool than Jurgen Klopp is.

"He's had success with similar types of clubs, from that working-class area. It does feel like he clicks with those types of clubs, and long may it continue."
