Jurgen Klopp has taken in a final rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ as Liverpool manager, with the German visibly moved on his Anfield farewell.
The Premier League and Champions League title winner has known that this day was coming for some time. Klopp stunned the football world back in January when announcing that he would be stepping down as Liverpool boss at the end of the season.He has spent close to nine years on Merseyside, overseeing a memorable era for one of the most decorated sides on the planet.
Liverpool supporters were always going to put on a show for his final outing on home soil, with a spectacular display pieced together against Wolves.
Klopp was just about able to keep his feelings in check as an iconic anthem rang out around him, but he made a point of taking it all in. While he has decided to take in a well-earned break from coaching, it will be impossible to replace the emotion generated when taking to the dugout at Anfield.Klopp is walking away with over 490 games taken in as Liverpool manager across all competitions.
The challenge facing the Reds now is to find a suitable successor that can strike up a similar bond with those in the stands.
