Jamie Carragher got the already frenzied Liverpool fans into a state of euphoria this morning by hinting that he was going to be re-joining the club in some capacity, saying that he "could not wait" to work with new manager Jurgen Klopp, before backtracking by saying that he only meant working with him on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

The highly-rated Klopp was unveiled as the club's new manager this morning, signing a three-year deal worth £15m.

"Great appointment from Lfc in getting Jurgen Klopp to Anfield. Can't wait to start working with him," Carragher wrote on Twitter, prompting wild celebrations from Reds' fans on social media. Before Carragher then clarified what he meant.

"MNF of course! He looks the type who will come live into the studio!!"

Speaking to LFC TV this morning, Carragher described Klopp as an "A-class manager."

"With the appointment of Klopp, after what he has achieved in the Bundesliga, if Man United were looking for a manager, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City, he would come into the reckoning for all those club."

"He has got a charisma about him, he's got a personality. Everyone thought that at Dortmund. You're hoping that with his personality and his track record, he can attract players to the club. Part of managing is what players you can attract to the club."

"The first thing is to get a win at Tottenham, to start well. The league is still very open, especially the start Chelsea have made. There may be one position (in the top four) that may be open that was closed last season. Top four would be a great start to his Liverpool career."
