Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has named Andriy Voronin as the player he'd most like to coach a second time.
Klopp spent two seasons managing the Russian forward at Mainz.
Voronin joined Liverpool in 2007 but managed just six goals in 40 appearances before joining Dynamo Moscow in 2010.
Asked which player he worked with at Mainz he would sign if they were starting out their career again, Klopp told the club's YouTube channel : "Andriy Voronin. If Andriy had known just one day in his life how good he could have been, it would have been absolutely amazing.
"Andriy was an incredible player, an incredible talent.
"Actually, I was a little unfair. In my first year as coach, I think my first full season as coach especially, I would always only sub him on. And then Andriy came to my room during the training camp and asked, 'Kloppo, why do I never start?'
"I said, 'Do you want the honest answer?' He said, 'Yes.' So I said, 'Because you don't complain when you don't start!'
"He replied, 'Fair enough!' And he carried on not starting."
