Liverpool legend Jürgen Klopp is set for an emotional return to Anfield in March
Jürgen Klopp is preparing for a much-anticipated return to the Anfield touchline, though this time in a very different capacity to the one Liverpool fans grew used to during his legendary spell as manager.
According to trusted journalist James Pearce, Klopp will take on the role of assistant manager to Sir Kenny Dalglish when Liverpool Legends face Borussia Dortmund Legends on Saturday, March 28.
The fixture will be staged at Anfield as part of Liverpool’s ongoing Legends series, with the event raising funds for the LFC Foundation, the club’s official charity.
Klopp is currently an honorary ambassador for the foundation, and his involvement underlines the strong emotional and professional ties he continues to share with Liverpool following his departure from the first-team role.
Klopp’s return is expected to generate huge excitement among supporters. During his time at the club, the German oversaw a remarkable revival, guiding Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League triumphs, along with several other major honours.
While he has stepped away from frontline management, his connection with the club and its supporters has never faded. Seeing Klopp back in the technical area — this time alongside Dalglish — is set to be a deeply emotional moment.
Dalglish, widely regarded as Liverpool’s greatest player and one of its most successful managers, will lead the Legends side, with Klopp supporting him from the sidelines.
Beyond the sentiment, the match itself promises a celebration of football nostalgia, with former stars from both Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund expected to feature.
Although entertainment will be central to the occasion, the game also highlights Klopp’s lasting influence on two of Europe’s most passionate clubs.
All proceeds from the fixture will support the LFC Foundation’s work in tackling social inequality, improving education and health, and driving community development across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.
