Liverpool midfielder Dominic Corness admits he discovered manager Jurgen Klopp's resignation via the media.
Corness is this season playing on-loan in Switzerland with Yverdon-Sport.
“Same as everyone else, apart from the lads at the club!" he told the Liverpool Echo. “I found out, I was just on my phone and I got a notification.
“I didn't know if it was real or not, but then I saw it all over the place and I was lost for words. I didn't really know what to say or think about the situation."
On his experience with the Reds first team, he continued: “I haven't played professionally, but I have trained and I have played in two mid-season friendlies for them (in Dubai) when the World Cup was on.
“For me, he's (Klopp) been a massive, massive help because it can be difficult, you know, for a young lad going up to the first team, but he just makes you feel welcome.
“And to be fair, when you train with the under-21s, the coaching style from the Under-21s manager, Baz (Barry Lewtas), he tries to give you the best possible opportunity so that when you go over there, it's not like a surprise, which I think is a credit to the club because they have the same philosophy throughout.
“But yeah, as I say, he (Klopp) just makes you feel welcome. It's not like you're going up there and you're frightened. He just makes you feel part of the team.
“Every single player's got massive quality. You can take a little bit of the game from everybody. It's unbelievable to train with them and just seeing the quality that they have up close.
“I was just trying to take as much as possible from Thiago's game for example, because, for me, he's unbelievable. It was a pleasure to be able to train with him."
