GARY NEVILLE could not resist poking fun at Jamie Carragher and Liverpool after the shock news regarding Jurgen Klopp.
The football world was shocked on Friday when the German, 56, announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Klopp transformed Liverpool back into one of Europe’s most feared outfits since he took charge in October 2015 and has won everything.
The Kop icon will forever be lovingly remembered as the man who ended their 30-year title drought.
And he also led the Reds to three Champions League finals,- tasting success in 2019.
Klopp says he informed Liverpool chiefs of his decision to step down last NOVEMBER but players and staff only learned of his exit yesterday.

And he revealed that there were “tears” when he told his squad as the countdown officially starts to the end of his reign.
While Liverpool fans were struggling to contain their emotions – with one even stating that he would rather his wife left him than Klopp quit Anfield – Manchester United fans declared it was the best news ever.
And legendary Red Devils defender Neville could not resist making a slight jibe towards the Reds and his Liverpool legend Sky Sports co-pundit Carragher with a three-word message.
Neville posted a photo of himself and Carragher smiling, seemingly on a previous night out somewhere.
