Henderson has no regrets on Liverpool exit and wants ‘fairytale’ end for Klopp
Henderson admits leaving hurt but says it was the right decisionAjax player talks of Anfield ‘brothers’ before facing Aston Villa
Jordan Henderson has insisted he has no regrets over his Liverpool exit and says he hopes Jürgen Klopp achieves a “fairytale” ending, with the club pushing to win four trophies before the manager departs at the end of the season. The 33-year-old said that although it hurt him to leave, it was the “best decision” for all parties for Klopp to freshen up his side for this season.
The England midfielder signed for the Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq last summer before terminating his contract to join Ajax on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January. He captained Liverpool to the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup during his 12 years at the club. Henderson said he regarded his former Liverpool teammates “like best friends and brothers” and that he was not as surprised by news of Klopp’s exit “as everyone else”.
