Jurgen Klopp will be back in the Liverpool dugout in two months’ time as part of the backroom staff of the Reds’ Legends match.
On March 28, Liverpool Legends take on their Borussia Dortmund counterparts at Anfield in a bid to raise funds for the LFC Foundation and the club’s official former players association, Forever Reds.
Liverpool icon Sir Kenny Dalglish had already been confirmed as the manager for the hosts and he will now be assisted by Klopp.
Completing Dalglish’s backroom team will be fellow club greats Ian Rush and John Aldridge.
A long-time supporter of LFC Foundation, Klopp has consistently praised the impact of the charity. He has highlighted its ‘incredible work’ delivered both locally and globally.
Klopp left his role as Liverpool manager 18 months ago after almost nine years at the helm – winning seven honours along the way.

Klopp also managed Dortmund during his managerial career – leading them to two league titles
He won the Champions League in 2019 before leading Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years in 2019-20.
The German went on to become the only Liverpool manager to win the league title, European Cup/Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup with the Reds.
This fixture will be particular poignant for the 58-year-old due to his history with Dortmund too – his previous club before taking the reins at Liverpool.
During his seven years at the helm, he led the German giants to two Bundesliga titles, one German Cup and two German Super Cups – and finished runners-up in the 2012-13 Champions League final.
