John Arne Riise calls on Jurgen Klopp to bring "good old days" back to Liverpool

John Arne Riise is hopeful that Jurgen Klopp can bring the "good old days" back to Liverpool.

Former Liverpool left-back John Arne Riise has said that he hopes Jurgen Klopp can bring the "good old days" back to Anfield following his appointment as manager.

The ex-Borussia Dortmund coach was named as Brendan Rodgers's successor on Thursday night.

Klopp is said to have signed a three-year deal worth a reported £7m a year, which makes the German Liverpool's highest-paid manager in the history of the club.

Rodgers, who was sacked by Liverpool last Sunday, failed to win a trophy during his three-year spell in charge on Merseyside.

After Klopp gave his first interview since being appointed, Riise tweeted: "I'm so freaking excited with the Klopp signing! Time to make Anfield a place oppositions fear again. Bring back the good old days.Good times.

"Just seen Klopp first interview as manager of our great club @LFC. Gave me goosebumps!! What a way to start!!"

Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool is against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on October 17.
