Former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner believes Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is already a Kop icon.
The pair are close friends from their playing days in Germany, while the two also worked together at Borussia Dortmund.
The Reds have come on leaps and bounds under Klopp's guidance, with the German guiding the Anfield club to their sixth European Cup back in June.
More silverware has now followed the Reds with them claiming the UEFA Super Cup following a dramatic penalty shootout win over Chelsea in Istanbul on Wednesday night, and following the result, Wagner is now convinced that his former team-mate has secured a legendary status at the club.

“Yeah I think so and he absolutely deserves it," the current FC Schalke 04 boss told talkSPORT.
“What he has done for the club in this period is amazing and it’s interesting what will be around the corner in the future for them.
“I think he showed last season that he’s able to compete with Pep Guardiola and fight with his team for the title, so hopefully he can do it this season as well. They have a great group together.
“I’ve known him long enough to know, he will do everything and work as hard as possible to try and win a trophy.
“Sometimes you need a bit of luck as well to win a trophy, but he absolutely deserves it.#
“It was always a pleasure to spend time with him and I’ve spent a lot of time with him in the past.
“He’s a great character, a good guy and he is exactly like he is on TV when you are with him in private.”
