Former Liverpool assistant manager Zeljko Buvac insists he's been happy for Jurgen Klopp and the players for their success over the past 18 months.
The 56-year-old, now sporting director at Dynamo Moscow, has spoken out on his time working with Klopp in a rare interview and it seems that tensions are still high between the pair.
Buvac admitted that he did not congratulate Klopp on winning Liverpool's first league title in 30 years this summer, although he was happy for the rest of the club upon their triumph.
"I didn't," the 56-year-old told Nobel. "I was happy for Liverpool, for the fans, for the players. But I didn't."
Klopp's former No 2 explained that he sought to become a sporting director as he had "been the manager for all those 17 years," in another pointed jibe at Klopp.
"I did the job of a manager, except speaking in public and giving interviews," he added. "Apart from that, I had all the functions and tried to influence my team as much as I could to help them succeed. But I didn't need that kind of attention.
"I don't want to be a manager now. If Barcelona calls me then of course I'll think about it but otherwise no.
"You say I'm here just to stay occupied and wait for a better chance. But if you knew what kind of offers I had rejected during the pause in my career you wouldn't have said that. But I won't tell you which clubs."
