Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp decides to make emotional return to management
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made the decision to return to management with the legendary German coach returning to his former club Borussia Dortmund for a special one-off game on Saturday.
The 57-year-old has enjoyed his summer following his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season as he has been spotted at Euro 2024, the Olympics in Paris and has enjoyed a holiday in Mallorca.
This is all well deserved after spending the last 23 years as a football manager with Klopp taking his time to decide what to do next with his career, should he ever return to the dugout.
The German spent the last nine years with Liverpool and brought the Merseyside club back to the top of the European game during his time at Anfield. The legendary coach guided the Reds to every trophy on offer and will go down as one of the Premier League club’s greatest-ever managers.
Leaving Liverpool was emotional for Klopp and everyone associated with the Reds but the German left a great squad behind for Arne Slot to work with and that has been evident during the opening part of the current campaign.
This weekend Klopp has made another emotional decision as the 57-year-old will return to his former club Borussia Dortmund for a special one-off game on Saturday.
