Jamie Carragher reads out brutal text from delighted Gary Neville after Jurgen Klopp Liverpool exit announcement

Jamie Carragher has revealed the gleeful text he received from Gary Neville when Jurgen Klopp announced he was leaving Liverpool.

The Reds boss shocked the football world in January when he told fans he will depart Anfield at the end of the season.

Klopp joined in 2015 and has led to the club to wins in every major trophy, including the Premier League and Champions League.

Many Liverpool fans were unsurprisingly devastated with the news given his immense success during a glittering spell in charge.

However, his departure will come as music to the ears of rivals, with Manchester United legend Neville not shy to express his joy.

He did so by messaging his friend and former Liverpool defender Carragher - who was on a skiing holiday when he found out.

Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher said: "So I wake up and I get the Klopp news. [Neville] then texts me - he's actually in the same place skiing - and I'm like, 'Oh no.'

Trying not to laugh as he read out the text to Roy Keane and Ian Wright, he said: "He wrote 'I'm in Courchevel, your manager is f****** off and that's you lot f***** for another 30 years.'"

Klopp could be set for a fairytale ending to his Liverpool stint as they could win what would be a historic quadruple.

The Reds sit top of the Premier League table and five points clear of Manchester City, although they have game in hand.

It is yet to be seen who will replace Klopp in the dugout but Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is a leading candidate.

The former midfielder made 210 appearances for Liverpool, with whom he won the Champions League and the FA Cup.

Alonso, who has Leverkusen sitting top of the Bundesliga and unbeaten, also previously revealed his dream to manage the club in an interview with talkSPORT in 2018.

He insisted he is 'really happy' at his current club, but links between him and a return to Anfield are surely set to stay in the coming months.
