Jurgen Klopp says he does not want "the old man on the sidelines" to become a distraction now that he has revealed he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Klopp stunned the football world on Friday by announcing his impending departure, saying he is "running out of energy".
And he appreciated the "emotional" reception afforded to him by Reds supporters prior to Sunday's FA Cup victory over Norwich, but hopes there will not now be too much focus on him.
The German's team made light work of the Championship play-off hopefuls, booking their place in the fifth round with a 5-2 win on a day of heightened emotions at Anfield.
