The former Reds captain rejoined the club as an academy coach in February and was last month appointed manager of the under-18s side.
Klopp recommended Gerrard for the role and plans to continue to assist the 36-year-old, who will complete his UEFA A Licence this summer.
"It's perfect that we can involve Steven," Klopp said in an interview with the Times
"What a guy, he's fantastic
"He was one of the world's best footballers ever
We had him last winter when he had a break in the USA (from LA Galaxy) and he had a few sessions with us, a few shooting sessions, and I thought what is that? His shooting
Unbelievable.
"I told him when I leave, or the club sack me, I don't care of course who'll be my successor, but I'd love that he'd be it.
"I'll do everything I can to make sure he gets all the information he needs
Because when you join a club you have a big responsibility for the future, and the future of this club needs legends like Steven Gerrard in decisive positions."
