Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to the people of Liverpool in his final press conference as manager, describing it as a “very special city” and promising: “If the city needs me, I will be there.”

Klopp, who steps down after nine years with the team this weekend, said on Friday: “It’s a very, very, very special city.

“Nothing is perfect these days, but most people in this town… the way they deal with life, the way they welcome you, the way they treat you.

“And I’m not referring to me, anyone who comes to the club and arrives in this city tells me.

“I don’t imagine the club will need my help in the future, but if the city needs me, I’m there. I want to help in any way.”

The manager, who announced he would leave the club in January because he was “running out of energy”, added: “I think they are voting on how VAR will be used because it is definitely not right.

“I wouldn’t vote against VAR, I would vote against the way it is used. These people are not able to use it properly. VAR is not the problem.

“I would vote to eliminate VAR as it stands.”
