Jurgen Klopp leads Anfield into Arne Slot song during farewell speech before Liverpool confirm new man

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Arne Slot will replace him at Liverpool as he implored supporters to get behind the new manager next season.

Klopp’s side ended their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win over Wolves thanks to first-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah on Sunday.




At full-time, Klopp gave a final address to supporters after being given a guard of honor by his players, before receiving a parting gift from owners Fenway Sports Group, who were in attendance at Anfield to say goodbye

And in a powerful and often humorous speech to fans at Anfield that day, Klopp confirmed that Slot is set to take over next term, despite the lack of an official announcement from the club.

“It doesn’t feel like the end,” Klopp said. “It feels like just the beginning, because today we saw a football team full of energy, creativity, desire, youth. That’s part of development and that’s what you need, obviously, but obviously for a few weeks I’ve had a lot of attention and it feels uncomfortable, but I’m realizing a lot of things in my time.

“People have told me I’ve turned them from doubters to believers, but that’s not true. You did it yourself, I just said you have to and that makes a big difference. Nobody tells you that you know to stop believing and because this club is now in the best position ever, well maybe never – I’ll have to ask Sir Kenny (Dalglish) – but for a long time, yes let’s put it this way, we have this wonderful stadium, wonderful training center and we have you – the superpower of world football, wow!
