Mohamed Salah has hailed the impact of Jurgen Klopp on his career after his Premier League nightmare at Chelsea.

Salah joined Jose Mourinho's Blues in 2013 from Basel, but made just 19 appearances before being shipped out to Fiorentina on loan.

Since arriving at Anfield last summer, the Egyptian - who will line up for the Reds in this year's Champions League final - has scored 43 goals in 49 appearances and lifted the PFA Player of the Year award as well as the FWA gong this month.

“I didn't have my chance [at Chelsea], so I must leave," Salah told CNN's Inside the Middle East .

"In my mind, I don't want to be someone sitting on the bench, and waiting to be number four or five or play two minutes and he's still in the big club. It doesn't work.

"I went to Fiorentina, and then after I went to Rome, I had two season and a half there in both clubs. I did very good there. And when I had a chance to come back, I said yeah, it's time to come back to England.”

Klopp was the man who identified Salah in the summer after netting 34 goals across two seasons with Roma, who Liverpool dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday night.

And Salah believes the German boss must be credited with his rise to stardom this season.

“I think he made a difference. He's a great, great coach, also great man… he helped me a lot to improve myself. I have also confidence to play what I want. We have a good relation together.”

Steven Gerrard relishing Brendan Rodgers showdown as McAllister and Beale follow Liverpool legend to Rangers

New Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is relishing the prospect of going head to head with his former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 37-year-old Kop legend has signed a four-year deal at Ibrox and will start work on June 1.

Gary McAllister will step down from his role as a Liverpool ambassador to become Gerrard's assistant and at least three members of the club's Academy staff will follow him.

As well as under-18s assistant Tom Culshaw and fitness coach Jordan Milsom, the ECHO understands that Michael Beale will also be part of Gerrard's backroom team.

Beale, who is currently head of coaching for the foundation phase at the Academy, previously managed Liverpool Under-23s before a stint as assistant boss of Sao Paulo in Brazil.

Rodgers has overseen a domestic clean sweep since taking over at arch rivals Celtic in 2016 and Gerrard will be tasked with breaking that stranglehold.

"I haven't spoken to Brendan recently," Gerrard said.

"But me and Brendan are fine, we always have been fine. I am looking forward to the challenge.

"When the call came from Liverpool with the opportunity to speak to Rangers, it was a no brainer from me.

"I got a different feeling in my stomach compared to the previous opportunities I'd had in terms of being a No 1 manager. From that phone call I got a special feeling and I knew that Rangers was for me.

"I weighed up the gamble and the risk and I have confidence in myself that I can deliver. There's a lot of positivity and ambition here which matches mine. I believe I can come in here and improve things and make these fans happy."

McAllister played alongside Gerrard in Liverpool's 2001 Treble winning side and they have remained close since.

"I have huge respect for Gary," he added.

"He ticks the box where I might not be the most experienced manager sat here right now but Gary has been around the game for a very long time.

"As a partnership I think it will be very strong - he will be a big rock and a big support for me. He's very excited, as soon as I asked him it was a 'yes' straightaway.

"The way he carries himself and the way he treats people, I learned so much off Gary as a human being and as a footballer. I couldn't ask for anyone better to take this challenge on with me."

Gerrard revealed he still has commitments with Liverpool and as a pundit for BT Sport this month so he won't start his first senior managerial role until June.

"I wish I could get rid of the next four or five weeks because I can't wait to walk through the door and meet the players," he said.

"I've been around a big football club for a long time and I've worked under big managers. I can't do anything about not having any experience, this is the only way to get experience.

"You have to believe in yourself that you have the right characteristics to take on a challenge like this head on. One day I will be experienced for sure.

"Pressure isn't a bad thing for me, I played under pressure and lived under pressure since I left school. In football, if you are working under pressure then you are in a good place.

"Since I stopped playing, I've missed that pressure of not fighting for three points on the weekend.

"I know there will be a lot of scrutiny and pressure but that's what I love about being involved in football. Bring it on."
