Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson paid tribute to manager Jurgen Klopp after victory against Wolves.

Klopp ended nine years in charge with a 2-0 win on Sunday.

Alisson told liverpoolfc.com: "Well, Jrgen is a special one. He said when he came here he is 'The Normal One' but he is definitely a special one for us, for the players who played under his leadership.

"I think he is a natural leader. His passion, his desire to win things, to achieve things. But he doesn't do things thinking about achievements, he thinks about the personal side of the players. He wants to do everything and the players feel good to play for his team. I will have so many memories, good memories. I'm so thankful and grateful that I had the opportunity to work under Jrgen Klopp.

"His importance is massive. When I came here, I was turning 26 years old, now I'm turning 32. I had two kids here, so many things happened in my life, achieved a few trophies, arrived in the highest level of football, playing in the Premier League. And his importance is massive. Every day, everything he did for the players, for the club. He is responsible, he needs to get all the credit.

"He says about the staff, the staff have credit as well, all the time he is not talking about himself but he made it possible. So that's why we will always give him a lot of credit for all the things we achieved and for all the memories."
