Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he can look like a 'complete idiot' on the sidelines.

The German is often passionate and animated on the sidelines, which is a reason why he is so beloved by Liverpool supporters.

Speaking in the new film The End Of The Storm, Klopp said: "The most obvious thing is people see me very animated constantly, grinding my teeth and pointing.

"I cannot look overnight like The Thinker, standing out there like this [adopts Rodin pose] and everybody thinks obviously something must be going on in his mind. At specific moments I still look like a complete idiot on the sidelines, I know that.

"I still have the most red cards, or certainly the most fines, as a manager in the history of the Bundesliga. Irony doesn't help. Referees cannot really deal with that.

"I think it was my first red card as a manager, I went to the assistant referee and I said: 'How many wrong decisions are allowed? Because if it's 15 we have one left.' He raised his flag, and whoosh, I was already on my way to the stands. But I can't sit down."
