Klopp farewell plans revealed

We are all edging closer to the day we have dreaded most – Klopp’s final game as Liverpool manager.

A report from the Liverpool Echo has provided some information about his farewell plans at Anfield after the Wolves match on May 19, with the German ‘asked to give one last speech’ to the crowd.

It also claimed owners John W. Henry, Tom Werner and Mike Gordon could also make the trip to Liverpool to honour Klopp, with the Reds boss given a guard of honour and a collage of his achievements.

It’s already emotional just picturing it all!
