Gerrard has launched his coaching career this season with the club's youth team.

Asked how often he hears from Klopp, Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo: "As much as I want.

"I can knock on his door every day of the week if I want. We exchange messages quite regularly, I've been down to Melwood probably three or four times since the beginning of the season.

"I don't need to be around Jurgen every day, I don't need to contact him every day but I know he is there if I need him. He was really good in the process before I took this role with the advice he gave me.

"It was great to bounce a lot of questions off him, he gave me every minute that I needed to make sure I was making the right decision. His support has been fantastic, but he has got his own worries, concerns, he's got his own huge job to focus on so I don't want to be knocking too much or sending messages too much. He's been top drawer.

"I know if I pick the phone up or ask for a meeting it's instant. I'm lucky to be in that position."
