Liverpool will honor manager Jurgen Klopp’s accomplishments with a ceremony at the M&S Bank Arena later this month.
The club will continue to honor the Reds manager, who is now only two games away from wrapping off a stellar nearly nine-year tenure on Merseyside, with “An Evening with Jurgen Klopp & Special Guests” on Tuesday, May 28.
The occasion, which will feature a Q&A with Klopp and LFCTV’s Peter McDowall, aims to commemorate the manager’s trophy-filled tenure since his arrival in October 2015, during which the Reds won the FA Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League, two League Cups, and the inaugural Club World Cup in 2019.
The comedian John Bishop, a lifelong Liverpool fan, will emcee Klopp’s farewell to the club. Award-winning singer Alfie Boe will be among the performers, including The Lightning Seeds and The Zutons.
“It’s going to be a very special night with lots of amazing memories shared and lots of great music too,” stated Klopp. The supporters are the beating heart of this amazing and special club, and I’m particularly looking forward to spending time with them.”

The Reds manager will receive a hero’s send-off when his team plays Wolves on May 19, the last day of the Premier League season, according to Echo.
However, the event at the M&S Arena is seen as an additional opportunity for fans to bid a farewell to such a beloved figure before he steps down to make way for a new manager, who is likely to be Feyenoord coach Arne Slot.
Klopp Calls Liverpool ‘Home’
“There’s no doubt I could have grown up here,” Klopp stated earlier this week. “Since I’m clearly from the country and don’t belong in the city, if I don’t say hello to the woman I meet on the street, she will call my mother and ask, ‘What’s wrong with your boy?'” So in a large metropolis, that would never occur. But Liverpool held onto that for a little while.
“I thought I would love being here, but the people are still what matter most—the closeness, the connection, the heart. We feel really fortunate and fortunate to have had the chance to make it our home, which is something truly unique.”
Earlier this week, Klopp said, “I could have grown up here, without a doubt.” “Since I’m clearly from the country and don’t belong in the city, if I don’t say hello to the woman I meet on the street, she will call my mother and ask, ‘What’s wrong with your boy?'” So that would never happen in a big city. Liverpool, though, clung to that for a short while.
“Although I had anticipated enjoying my stay here, the people—their heart, intimacy, and connection—remain the most important thing.
It is genuinely unique, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to call it home.”
