In a move that’s sure to delight Liverpool fans, former manager Jürgen Klopp is set to return to Anfield for the first time since his departure at the end of last season. Klopp will serve as a guest speaker at the LFC Foundation’s Annual Gala on May 23, marking his debut as an honorary ambassador for the club.
The LFC Foundation, which works to combat social inequality and support local communities, will use the event to raise funds, part of which will benefit Forever Reds—an association supporting former Liverpool players. Klopp’s appearance is set to coincide with Liverpool’s final league fixture of the season against Crystal Palace, a game he’s also been invited to attend.
Now working as Red Bull’s global head of soccer, Klopp shared his excitement about supporting the Foundation’s mission. His return comes at a pivotal time, as Liverpool closes in on a historic 20th league title—just 11 points away with seven matches remaining.
While there’s no indication that Klopp plans to return to management any time soon, his deep connection to Liverpool remains strong. His presence at the gala and possibly at Anfield will be a symbolic and emotional moment for fans and players alike.
With the city preparing for possible title celebrations, including a potential open-top bus parade, Klopp’s return is expected to add a powerful emotional spark to an already momentous occasion. The Liverpool faithful will be thrilled to welcome back the man who brought so much glory to Anfield.
