Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is preparing for an emotional return to Anfield in March, joining club legend Kenny Dalglish for a special charity occasion.
Klopp, who managed Liverpool during one of the most successful periods in the club’s modern history, will return to the stadium away from the pressure of competitive football.
The visit is expected to bring back strong memories for supporters who watched him guide the Reds to major trophies.
Liverpool legends vs Dortmund legends
The event will be a charity match between Liverpool Legends and Borussia Dortmund Legends, with all proceeds going to the Liverpool Foundation and the Forever Reds programme.

Former captain Steven Gerrard will lead Liverpool on the pitch, while Dalglish will take charge from the bench.
Klopp will work alongside him in a supporting role to make the evening even more meaningful for fans.
Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015 after leaving Borussia Dortmund and helped transform the club into a European and domestic powerhouse.
Klopp’s lasting legacy at Liverpool
During nine years at Anfield, Klopp won the Premier League and the Champions League, ending Liverpool’s long wait for league success and returning the club to Europe’s top level.
He left his position in May 2024 but his bond with the fans remains strong.

His football style and leadership left a lasting mark and his next appearance will be seen as a symbolic return to the place where he built a historic era.
Focus on charity, not coach return
Although Klopp has visited Anfield since his departure, this return has a different meaning.
He currently serves as an honorary ambassador for the Liverpool Foundation and the party will support important community and charitable projects.
Recent rumors have linked Klopp with possible coaching jobs in the future, but he has played down those reports.
The German coach has said that he does not feel a strong need to return to daily management and is satisfied with what he has achieved in his career.
