Jurgen Klopp has opened the door for Sven-Goran Eriksson to spend the day as Liverpool manager.Eriksson revealed earlier this month that he had in a "best case" scenario around a year to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.During a round of TV interviews upon revealing his health issues, former England boss Eriksson disclosed his lifelong love for Liverpool and how he always wished to be manager of the club.Robbie Fowler, who played under Eriksson for England, hinted on X, formerly know as Twitter, that a call had been made for the 75-year-old Swede to manage a Liverpool Legends team at Anfield in 2024, but the current Reds boss has gone a step further."I don't know him, unfortunately not," Klopp was quoted as saying in various newspapers."I know him without knowing him, we never met."Yes, it was obviously very touching news when you heard about it.

I heard for the first time about his admiration or love for Liverpool and that he was a fan for his whole life."So, I heard now about the legends match and stuff like that.

I'm not in charge of that so I can't say anything about that."The only thing I can say is absolutely he's very welcome to come here and he can sit in my seat in my office and do my job for a day if he wants.

That's no problem."Being on the sideline might be a little bit more difficult. To have him here and show him everything and how this wonderful club developed over the years, I think that's definitely something we will tell him."He can come over and have a few wonderful hours here, I'm sure."
