Liverpool Assistant Coach Leaves Club After Misunderstanding With Klopp
Buvac is one of Klopp's most trusted allies in the game.
The Bosnian-Serb has worked along with the
Liverpool boss since his time in charge at Mainz in the early 2000's.
Their relationship spans 17 years but it was claimed this morning it had come to an end on the eve of the Reds' biggest match of the season.
Liverpool head to Italy this week for their Champions League semi-final second leg tie with Roma.
The Premier Leauge giants are 5-2 up going into the tie but looked to have been rocked by the apparent news of Buvac's exit.
The Daily Record reported Buvac had left the club after a bust-up with Klopp.
It was claimed the two had stopped talking to each other during games, with the Liverpool manager also excluding his coach from pre-match tactical meetings.
Liverpool's players were reportedly told of the news last night.
The Record cited a source as saying: "Klopp and Buvac had a big falling out, and Buvac has been left completely out of the loop of late.
“They stand apart in training, Buvac doesn't go to tactical meetings, and he is no longer involved in picking the team.
"In the past, he was the only one who had Klopp's ear. The relationship had broken down, and the players have been told Buvac is gone.”
But the Liverpool Echo have shot down the claims.
They say Buvac hasn't left the club, but report he'll miss the rest of the season due to private family issue.
Buvac and Peter Krawietz followed Klopp to Anfield after they formed a strong bond with Klopp at Borussia Dortmund.
Klopp started working with Buvac at Mainz in 2001 and later both moved to Dortmund in 2008.
