Jurgen Klopp ready to honor Liverpool promise as title dream edges ever closer

If Liverpool wins the Premier League this season, a grand celebration with fans can be expected with former manager even likely to be in attendance. Klopp led to their first league title in 30 years in 2019/20, but the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the season and prevented a traditional victory parade, leaving fans feeling disappointed.

However, , the scene will be very different, with a triumphant procession through the city's streets. Klopp has confirmed he will join the fans to watch his former team lift the trophy.

In an interview with TNT Sports towards the end of his nine-year tenure at Anfield, Klopp said: "I'm happy, the better the hands are the club will be in for the next years, the better it is for me because I will follow everything and will watch it from wherever in the world.

"If Liverpool can win the league the next year and if I don't disturb, I would be around and watch the [bus] driving through the city."

Earlier this year, as Liverpool looked set to lead the Premier League, Klopp reiterated his intentions, saying: "Yes, the plan is [to be there for the celebrations] but not on the bus. I will be there where the people are. That's the idea, but we will see.",

He also expressed his intention to attend Liverpool's final match of the season against Crystal Palace at Anfield, admitting that his absence from the iconic stadium was due to superstition.

"I will be there for the last game," he said. "I didn't want to go earlier to be honest because I didn't want to jinx it! Liverpool wins all the time and I'm the first time in the stadium and we lose! So, I'll go there when it's decided."

Klopp had received invites to fixtures against Manchester City and Real Madrid from Slot, who emphasised that the German legend will always have a place at the club.

"I wouldn't mind him (Klopp) coming. I invited him, I think, to the (Manchester) City and Real (Madrid) games, but he told me he has a job and is somewhere else in the world," Slot said. "He can be here every single time he wants to come - either to the training ground or the games. He is more than welcome.

"But at this moment he had a job to do and in the first half of the season he had a job to do with his wife, enjoying life. For me, he is always welcome."
