Jurgen Klopp ended his record-breaking career at Liverpool having led the club to one Premier League title, one Champions League crown, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups, the Community Shield, a UEFA Super Cup and a Fifa Club World Cup.

Jurgen Klopp has since expressed his desire to make a grand return to Liverpool to join fans to celebrate the likely Premier League title.

As per the Daily Mail, he shared the news while speaking at a charity event in South Africa. Jurgen Klopp also revealed that he had been avoiding attending the matches to avoid jinxing their chances of winning the matches.

Jurgen Klopp looks forward to making his return to Anfield when Liverpool host Crystal Palace in their final match of the season.

“Yes, the plan is {to be in Liverpool} but not on the bus. I will be there with the people, the people I saw when we were on the bus,” Jurgen Klopp said.

"That's the idea, to be honest, but we will see. I think I will be there for the last game... I didn't want to go earlier to be honest because I didn't want to jinx it all the time.

“If I'm in the stadium for the first time and they lose, ‘oh f*** sake’. So I go there when it's decided.”

Arne Slot, Liverpool’s current boss disclosed that he had previously invited Jurgen Klopp to watch the matches twice but he was unavailable.

Slot added that Jurgen Klopp is welcome to watch any game he wants or even go and watch the players train.

“For me, he is more than welcome. In the first half of the season he was enjoying life, with his wife, and at this moment he has a job to do,” Arne Slot said.

Liverpool are currently 13 points ahead of Arsenal in the title race and they have 10 matches remaining. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp already began his new role as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull.
