Jurgen Klopp didn't leave a good impression on one ex-Liverpool player(Image: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)

Mario Balotelli endured one of the worst spells of his career at Liverpool.

He spent a single season with the Reds under Brendan Rodgers before being loaned out and was unimpressed by Jurgen Klopp upon his return to Anfield.

It was not the first time that Balotelli had encountered issues at a club.



Earlier in his career, the striker had gotten on the wrong side of Inter Milan team-mate Marco Materazzi during their treble-winning season, with the defender later revealing that he made sure to rough him up in training.

Liverpool signed Balotelli as Luis Suarez's replacement in 2014.

I didn’t get along with them.”

Delving deeper into his lack of relationship with Klopp, Balotelli later said he had only spoken with the Liverpool boss briefly before leaving for France.

"Klopp doesn't know me, I spoke to him once, he told me to go somewhere else, work hard and then return," Balotelli told Sky Italia.

Diego Milito wanted to kill him.

“We believed in Mario, he scored many goals and contributed to the victory, but a week after that, I asked Mourinho to put me against Balotelli in the training ground games between ranks.
