Carlo Ancelotti has said Liverpool made the "right decision" to appoint Jurgen Klopp as the club's manager ahead of him in 2015.
Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers in the Anfield hot seat, although at the time there was speculation over Ancelotti possibly taking charge. The Italian had left Real Madrid at the end of the previous season.
Ancelotti is now in charge of Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton and the two teams will square off on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup. Ahead of the contest, the Toffees coach said he did have a conversation with the Anfield club, although said it's clear they made a smart choice in Klopp, per Chris Bascombe of the Daily Telegraph.
