Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, has announced his departure from the club after an incredible nine-year journey.
The charismatic German coach, known for his creative management style and abundant trophy wins, has left an indelible mark on Anfield.
As the club prepares to call time on the German head coach’s time at Anfield, QT recaps some of the 56-year-old’s funniest moments.
Singing in Victory
After winning Liverpool their sixth Champions League title, Klopp showcased his lighter side. In a post-match interview, he surprised everyone by breaking into song, singing; ‘Let’s talk about six baby, let’s talk about you and me.’ A grinning Klopp introduced it as a new song, leaving the journalist amused.
Derby Laughter
In a Merseyside derby in 2016, Klopp couldn’t hold back laughter when his player, Lucas Leiva, attempted a long shot and missed.
Klopp’s jovial reaction, twisting in his seat with colleagues, added humor to the intense match emotions.
Lost in Translation
During a press conference, Klopp got distracted by the translator’s “erotic” voice. In another instance, after a dramatic comeback against Barcelona, he passionately described his team as “mentality giants” and cheekily defended his choice of words with, ‘I’m not native, so I don’t have better words!’
Touchline Twang
In a dramatic clash with Tottenham, Klopp’s animated celebration turned into a sprint towards the fourth official. Unfortunately, he pulled up with a hamstring twang, earning a yellow card and a muscle injury, adding a touch of irony to the late victory.
Ring Retrieval
Celebrating a home win, Klopp momentarily alarmed viewers as he paused mid-celebration. It turned out he had dropped his wedding ring.
With humor, Jamie Carragher quipped, ‘the wife will be happy,’ as Klopp retrieved the ring, kissing it to the delight of commentators and fans.
Klopp’s departure marks the end of an era, leaving Liverpool fans with cherished memories of his humorous and unforgettable moments.
