Jurgen Klopp lives in Brendan Rodgers’ house… and it was the ex-Liverpool manager’s kind-hearted idea https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10057194/jurgen-klopp-brendan-rodgers-house-liverpool-leicester-2/ BRENDAN RODGERS will feel at home when he takes Leicester to Anfield on Saturday - but he won't be able to stay in his former pad.
The Foxes chief owns a house in nearby Formby, however he is renting it to Jurgen Klopp - the man who replaced him as Liverpool boss in 2015. Instead of holding a grudge against his successor, Rodgers, 46, has revealed that it was his idea to rent the impressive pad to Klopp.
"I was so happy for Jordan when he lifted the Champions League trophy because I know how much he has developed and worked for it.
“I was never going to be bitter. ခါးသီးမေနခ်င္ဘူးThat’s why I let Jurgen move into my house! I had a good relationship with Ray Haughan – the player liaison officer – and he told me Jurgen was struggling to find somewhere to live so I said, ‘Listen, I am moving to London for a bit and will not be there now, so Jurgen could move in’.
“I understand what it is like as a manager moving to a new place, wanting your family to be settled and happy. You want them in a good place. He took the house and has been there ever since. "I wanted him to succeed and the club to succeed."
Klopp, 52, has settled well at the home, which includes an indoor swimming pool.
However, when Rodgers returned to the Premier League as Leicester manager the German joked that there were a few issues with the property. He said: "We have a lot of things to talk about. "The plumbing issue, electricity, the pool and stuff like that."
RODGERS RETURN
When Leicester play Liverpool it'll be the first time Rodgers has been to Anfield as a manager since he was axed.
The Northern Irishman can return with his held held high after coming so close to breaking Liverpool's Premier League drought in the 2013/14 season before eventually finishing two points behind Man City.
Unfortunately for Rodgers, he could not build on those foundations as Luis Suarez departed for Barcelona. The Foxes boss said: “We went so close and ideally you want to build on that but then you lose a world-class player. We lost our identity.
