Jurgen Klopp will bid an emotional farewell to Liverpool this weekend when he manages his final game in charge of the club after nearly a decade at the helm.
The 56-year-old German is in the Kop side's dugout for the last occasion as Liverpool host Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season.
Klopp is going out with silverware in his final season at the Merseyside club, after Liverpool emerged victorious in the League Cup final earlier this campaign with victory over Chelsea.
Liverpool will end the Premier League season in third place, ensuring the return of Champions League football to Anfield next season.

Any hopes of further trophies ultimately did not come to fruition as the club's Premier League title charge ran out of steam, and Liverpool were dumped out of both the FA Cup and Europa League.
This afternoon at Anfield will no doubt be an emotional one for Klopp and Liverpool supporters as he bids farewell to them in the final time in the dugout at the famous old stadium.
Klopp has confirmed he will take at least a year out from football following his departure from Liverpool, and has also made it clear that if and when he does take another management job, he will not manage any other team in England.
However, if there is one thing Klopp will probably not miss from his time managing Liverpool and working in English football, it is the fines he has picked up from the FA during his decade in the Premier League.
And throughout that time, he has had to fork out a total of £158,000 after being charged on four occasions by the FA, three of which have included controversial incidents with referees, according to the Daily Mirror.
This included in October 2022 when Liverpool won 1-0 against Manchester City, where Klopp was angered a foul was not given following Bernardo Salah tugging Mo Salah's shirt, leading to the Kop boss shouting at assistant Gary Beswick inches from his face.
The FA viewed the incident as "aggression" from Klopp as he screamed "How could you not? How could you not?" at Beswick for not giving Liverpool a foul.
Klopp also had problems with Paul Tierney on a couple of occasions, including during a 2-2 draw with Spurs in December 2021 after he sent off Andy Robertson and the German telling Tierney he is the only referee he has a problem with.
Tierney also booked Klopp after his celebration in a late 4-3 triumph over Spurs, where he ran up to fourth official John Brooks after the winner.
Though Klopp will undoubtedly miss managing Liverpool, that aspect of English football is likely to be one he will not, after today.
