Jurgen Klopp was moved to tears at the M&S Bank Arena as the crowd erupted into his song on Tuesday evening.

The former Liverpool boss sat silently, visibly emotional as he absorbed the moment, wiping tears from his eyes.

Supporters in the arena were eager to express their gratitude to the German for his tenure as Liverpool manager.

In a poignant moment captured on video, Klopp rose to his feet, placing his hand over his heart before delivering his trademark fist pumps to the electrified audience.

Hundreds of fans were spotted lining up hours before the event’s scheduled start, with some even arriving as early as dawn to secure their spots.

The anticipation was a testament to Klopp’s immense popularity and the deep connection he has fostered with Liverpool supporters since his arrival in 2015.

Marking his nine-year tenure as Liverpool manager, Klopp bid a heartfelt farewell to the supporters in a special event organized by lifelong Red, John Bishop.

Earlier in the evening, Klopp was deeply touched by the overwhelming welcome he received upon taking the stage.

John Bishop enthusiastically welcomed Klopp to the stage amid thunderous cheers.

Ahead of the event, Klopp had sent a heartfelt message to fans.

Speaking on Instagram, he conveyed his gratitude to them.

He said: “Okay, so now I’ve tried to put myself somehow in proper gear to say now for the last time, hopefully, goodbye.

“I’m pretty sure it will be a good event – again pretty emotional, but I think we are through the worst now!

Ready for the party.”

Klopp took the helm at Liverpool in October 2015, with his contract originally slated to extend until 2026.

During his tenure, he achieved remarkable success, notably clinching the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2019 and guiding Liverpool to their first Premier League title in 30 years during the 2019-2020 season.

His tenure also saw him achieve a unique milestone in Liverpool’s managerial history, becoming the only manager to secure victories in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup for the Reds.
