Jurgen Klopp wants Steven Gerrard to replace him as Liverpool manager when he eventually leaves his post at Anfield.
Reds legend Gerrard is the current Rangers boss, and has guided the Glasgow club to second in the Scottish Premiership, three points behind bitter rivals Celtic.
Prior to managing in Scotland, Gerrard was in charge of Liverpool's Under-18s and worked underneath Klopp shortly after retiring.
And Klopp is confident that when his time comes to leave Liverpool - or he finds himself being sacked as the result of a bad run - Gerrard would do a good job at the reins at Anfield.
"Kenny and Stevie have both been a really big support from day one," Klopp told Four Four Two.
"Second, my position as a manager has nothing to do with the people around me. If Liverpool were to sack me tomorrow, then maybe Kenny would be the first choice to replace me, but they would probably bring Stevie down from Glasgow.
"If you ask who should follow me, I'd say Stevie. I help him whenever I can. If someone gets your job, it's not about them, it's about you not being good enough.
"I'm old enough to know that I give this job everything. I'm not a genius, I'm not perfect, but I give the club 100 per cent. If that's enough, great. If it's not, then it's just the problem of the situation."
Klopp has hinted he may retire from football when his contract expires at Liverpool. The German is tied down till 2022, and currently has no plans to sign an extension.
