Jurgen Klopp Sends Heartfelt Message to Liverpool on 10-Year Anniversary of His Appointment
It’s been a decade since Jurgen Klopp first walked through the doors at Anfield — and the legendary manager has marked the milestone with an emotional message to Liverpool and its supporters.
Klopp, who spent nearly nine years in charge of the Reds, was appointed on October 8, 2015, succeeding Brendan Rodgers. During his tenure, he transformed Liverpool into one of Europe’s most formidable teams, guiding them to Champions League glory in 2019 and a long-awaited Premier League title in 2020, along with several domestic and international trophies.
Before Klopp’s arrival, Liverpool had claimed just one major honor — the 2012 League Cup — over the previous nine seasons. His impact, both on and off the pitch, reignited the spirit of the club and restored its place among football’s elite.
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of his appointment, Liverpool shared a touching post on Instagram that read:
“Ten years ago today, Jürgen was appointed Reds manager. A tremendous tenure.”
Klopp responded with a simple but heartfelt message:
“Thank you for an amazing time.”
The German’s decision to step down at the end of the 2023–24 season surprised many, particularly as Liverpool were still competing on multiple fronts at the time. Nonetheless, his legacy on Merseyside remains undeniable.
Following his departure, Klopp took on a new challenge as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull, overseeing the football operations within their international network.
In a recent interview with The Athletic, Klopp revealed that he has no plans to return to management — at least for now.
“I was super happy with the way Liverpool performed,” he said. “I watched some games, but it’s not like, ‘Oh, it’s Saturday!’ I didn’t even know when matches started. I played sports, spent time with the grandkids — just normal life.”
Asked whether he could ever return to coaching, Klopp admitted:
“That’s what I think — that I won’t coach again. But you never know. I’m 58. If I started again at 65, people would say, ‘You said you’d never do it again!’ But right now, I don’t miss anything about being a manager.”
Klopp’s era at Liverpool may have ended, but his legacy — of passion, belief, and football reborn — continues to echo through Anfield a decade after his arrival.
