Jürgen Klopp Returns to Anfield Road One Year After His Departure From Liverpool.
Return to the championship coronation: Jürgen Klopp will be a guest at Anfield Road for the first time on Sunday, exactly one year after his departure from Liverpool. “I heard he will be there, yes. Very nice,” said Klopp’s successor Arne Slot on Friday.
The timing could hardly be better: On the sidelines of the last season game against FA Cup winner Crystal Palace (5:00 p.m.), Liverpool will be presented with the trophy for winning the Premier League.

Klopp had recently avoided a trip to Liverpool before winning the championship. “But I’m superstitious. When I’m in the stadium again for the first time and they lose – oh damn! So I’ll only go when everything is decided,” said the current Global Head of Football at Red Bull in March. Liverpool has been confirmed as champion since April 27.
Klopp wants to celebrate Liverpool Title as a fan
On Monday, the big championship parade will also take place in the city – unlike the Corona title in 2020, finally with fans. And with Klopp? He wanted to celebrate the title as a fan, the 57-year-old had already announced.
“My plan is to be at the last game in Liverpool – but of course not on the bus. I will celebrate with the people I had around me on the bus at the time,” said Klopp, who was at least able to experience a parade with fans in 2019 when he won the Champions League.
