Jurgen Klopp’s tenure as Liverpool’s manager comes to an end this coming weekend.
It’s unlikely that anyone could have predicted the German would make such an impact over the next several seasons when he initially entered Anfield nine years ago.
Following a rather devoid phase concerning major championships, Klopp has restored Liverpool’s reputation.
Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League… He triumphed over them all and won the affection of Liverpool supporters worldwide.
Following Liverpool’s match against Wolves, Jurgen Klopp will go.
His affinity for the club and the city was immediately apparent, and he had a natural ability to say the right thing at the right moment.
When the audience witnessed his fervor on the sidelines or during press conferences, it was simple to comprehend how he was able to inspire his players.
He was a cheeky figure who won everyone over with his frequently funny and occasionally obscene remarks.
A humorous and gregarious Premier League manager? Of course not! In his special Daily Briefing, CaughtOffside’s Fabrizio Romano paid respect to Klopp, saying that he will be greatly missed when he says goodbye.
“To be honest, nothing I say will do Liverpool’s manager, Klopp, justice. He’s been incredible—a living legend for the team,” he remarked.
“The best way to know how special he has been and how much he will be missed is to see the level of appreciation from each and every player.”
There’s a good chance that when the final whistle blows at Anfield, nobody will be left in the house empty-eyed.
The outcome versus Wolves will almost be coincidental—though Klopp might not see it that way—as the community unites to hail the German as their own for the very last time.
Without Klopp, English football would undoubtedly be a much lesser game, and that is perhaps his most enduring legacy—a before and after.
How many of his players leave with him this summer is still to be determined.
