'I was on fire from the first second!' - Klopp remembers moment Liverpool called him to become manager

Jurgen Klopp has remembered the moment that Liverpool called him to become their new manager, insisting "I was on fire from the first second".

Liverpool drafted in Klopp to replace Brendan Rodgers in the Anfield hot seat back in October 2015, having seen the German leave his post at Borussia Dortmund earlier in the year.

He inherited a squad that needed major surgery after a sixth-place finish in the Premier League, and quickly set about implementing his own attacking philosophy.
