Klopp who has been vocal over the use of social media passed years, for both positive and negative reasons, and has regularly distanced himself from having an account of his own despite murmurings to the contrary.
In 2017, he said he is definitely too old for social media. But in an interview with talkSPORT’s Laura Woods, Klopp disclosed that he does in fact possess an account but keeps a low profile and instead uses the app to keep tabs on timely birthday reminders and what his squad are getting up to away from Melwood.
This came after he was tasked with naming one of his players for a number of SoS situations, including who would take over as manager, babysit his kids, act as his personal chef and be the one to spend 10 hours stuck in a lift with.
He said, "Since last summer I’m on Instagram. I’m not active but I [follow] all my players," Klopp explained.
"I told Ox already now that I follow him and his missus. They obviously have a fancy life when I’m not around! I have a secret name.
"I understand more and more of the principles of social media but I’ll never be active on it, but it’s really fun and when I go on it it’s always the same guys.
"The good thing is I can never again forget one of my players’ birthdays! That’s really cool."
