Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool No. 2, Zeljko Buvac, Reportedly Faces Work Permit Delay
New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will have to wait to find out if he will have his most trusted coaching assistant with him for the first game of his tenure, as Zeljko Buvac suffers work permit issues.
Simon Jones of the MailOnline reported the man known as "the Brain" in Klopp's back room team is anxiously waiting for clearance to link up with the German before the Reds face Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.
Buvac and Klopp were team-mates during their playing careers for Mainz in the 1990s, and they have partnered each other for 14 years in coaching, with the Bosnian as Klopp's assistant manager.
