Jurgen Klopp has announced that he will return to Liverpool on the final day of 2024/2025 Premier League season.
His imminent return to the Merseyside club followed an invite from his successor, Arne Slot.
Klopp has not set foot in Anfield since he left at the end of last season.
The German admits he did not want to return, so he does not jinx the Reds’ bid to become Premier League champions.
The Reds have exceeded all expectations in Slot’s first season in England.
Liverpool are currently 13 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table and are set to be crowned champions.
“Yes, the plan is [to be in Liverpool] but not on the bus, I will be there with the people I saw on the bus,” Klopp said during a fundraiser in Cape Town this week.
“That’s the idea to be honest, but we will see. I think I will be there for the last game.
“I didn’t want to go earlier to be honest because I didn’t want to jinx it all the time. If I’m in the stadium for the first time and they lose, ‘oh f*** sake’. So I go there when it’s decided.
