Jürgen Klopp announced his return to Liverpool – under one condition.
When FC Liverpool fetches the championship in the Premier League, ex-coach Jürgen Klopp will also move back to his old homeland. This was confirmed by the coaching legend itself.
“My plan is to be in Liverpool in the last game – but of course not on the bus. I will celebrate with the people I had on the bus at the time, ”the 57-year-old revealed, according to Liverpool Echo on a question and answer session in South Africa. There he is a supporter of the Hout Bay United football club.
Klopp, Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull since January, does not want to be in the stadium. “To be honest, I don’t want to be there earlier. I am superstitious, ”he emphasized. “When I’m back in the stadium for the first time and you lose … Oh, damn it! So I only go when everything is decided. “
Liverpool with 13 points lead
The last season game of the Reds, who trained Klopp from 2015 to 2024, will take place on May 25th on the Anfield Road Road against Crystal Palace. However, Klopp’s ex-team can decide the championship earlier.
Klopp won the Premier League with the Reds in 2020 a year after winning the Champions League. After 9 years he said goodbye before this season. Now his successor Slot is on a championship course.
