Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard 'excited' by Jurgen Klopp arrival

Steven Gerrard takes to social media to celebrate Liverpool's signing of manager Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has hailed his former club's appointment of manager Jurgen Klopp.

The German, 48, replaced the sacked Brendan Rodgers on Thursday before being unveiled to the media on Friday, and Gerrard took to Instagram to celebrate the swoop.

Klopp, who spent seven years in charge of Borussia Dortmund before quitting at the end of last season, won two Bundesliga titles and a DFB-Pokal crown during his spell with the club.
