Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has admitted he is not excited about Jurgen Klopp leaving the club.

The German head coach has indicated that he will be exiting Anfield in the summer.

While the club are yet to find a replacement, Van Dijk knows that Klopp is a hard act to follow.

“Very difficult," he told ITV News.

“I'm a very emotional person and I don't like to say goodbyes. Being the captain now, it's gonna be horrible in the sense you probably have to speak a little bit. And like I say that day I'll be dreading.

“It makes it a lot easier if we have success. So that's the aim at the moment. But it's difficult and it's not only the boss who is leaving, it's going to be a lot of changes and more staff leaving, but it will be a tough day.

“Until the day that we'll fight and be positive and put all of our focus and effort in that and make the season successful."
