Cisse said: "I hope with all my heart that he keeps his job because if I arrive at the club and he's not the manager it would be a serious blow to my future.
"He's the one I spoke to, the one I negotiated with and the one I agreed the deal with. If he isn't going to be there then the challenge for me is going to be even tougher.
"I could have gone to Real Madrid. I had two offers from them. But Anfield is the better move for me."
