Ian Rush shared his thoughts on Jurgen Klopp after his departure from the club and said his legacy is up there with Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.
"I just think he is right up there with the top managers this club has ever had," said Rush. "You look at Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Sir Kenny Dalglish, what he's done is created not one team but two great Liverpool teams.
"Last year when we didn't do so well people were not expecting a good season for this one but if you said at the start of the season we'd have a great day out at Wembley and win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League, you would have taken that all day long.
"People are saying it's a disappointing season and it is in a way because Jürgen's standards are so high and that's what Klopp does, sets the standards so high, so he has to be right up there.
"Klopp is like a modern-day Shankly. Shanks put the foundations in and Bob Paisley took them to a different level. Bob wasn't a great talker but Shankly was and when you look at Jürgen he is a modern-day Shankly.
"He is very passionate, he shows that passion in the dugout and with the fans as well and that's why the fans love him."
