Maybe not at half time, we had one occasion where he was sharing his thoughts and I was sharing mine."Recalling Klopp's six-word comment during the back-and-forth, he added: "I remember him smashing his hands down on the table like, 'Will you shut the f*** up?!'"But Jurgen was brilliant. I had a great relationship with him, off the field as well, he supported our charity (the James Milner Foundation) as well so much."Milner, who recently overtook Gareth Barry as the Premier League's all-time leading appearance maker, went on to reveal what made Klopp such a great manager before his departure in 2024 to become Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer.He continued: "An amazing manager.

I always felt like most of the time he was open and even if he didn’t feel like the conversation, he gave you stuff back so you felt like he’d thought about it afterwards. Even if he didn’t tell you that, you’d see it with things he did after and I felt like he was good at taking things on board."He’s a leader, he makes the decisions, but if you’ve put something in his head and it’s helped, he was pretty good at listening to things like that, I saw him change a lot in the time I was there."Milner is even thinking of following in Klopp’s footsteps once he finally hangs up his boots.

But he received some valuable advice from his former boss before getting into coaching."I've done my badges and things like that," Milner told talkSPORT. It is something you think, 'I could do that, I'll show you.'"Jurgen Klopp always said to me that whenever you finish, it's important you have a rest when you've been 100 miles an hour for as long as I have.
