Picture Special: New Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp gets lost at Melwood… in the car park!

Jurgen Klopp and his driver get waylaid at Melwood

JURGEN KLOPP has suffered his first gaffe as Liverpool boss - by getting lost in the dark park at training.

 

Klopp took his first training session as Liverpool manager yesterday after being confirmed as Brendan Rodgers' replacement last week.

And the former Borussia Dortmund boss arrived at Melwood this morning in his new Porsche.

But instead of being chauffeured by a club driver, Klopp had one of his backroom staff take him from his city-centre hotel to Liverpool's HQ.

It proved blundersome though, as they drove straight past his manager's parking spot and got lost at the back of the dark park.

Klopp and his driver eventually found their bay and eased into the spot, only for the 48-year-old to enter the training ground via the press room!

Klopp recovered from his parking troubles to take the session with Liverpool's players who did not go away on international duty.

Mamadou Sakho looked happy to be back in training, posting a picture alongside Daniel Sturridge and Dejan Lovren on Twitter.

"Back to training !! #Liverpool #LFC #YNWA," he wrote.

Klopp is prepared to give all of the players he has inherited from Rodgers a chance to prove themselves at Anfield.

And despite being linked with a number of potential signings, including raiding his former club Dortmund, Klopp insists he is only focused on current Liverpool players.

"I am not interested in how much money I will be allowed to spend in January', Klopp told German newspaper Bild.

"It is only October and I don't even know how many games there are left until the winter. But we clearly have plenty of games left and we will be taking a look at our own players first."

"I have no intention whatsoever to lure Dortmund's stars to Liverpool."

Klopp starts his reign as Liverpool manager in earned when he takes his side to Tottenham on Saturday (12.45pm).
