In January, Jürgen Klopp shocked the world with his announcement. After nine years at the helm of Liverpool, the German specialist decided to leave the club.

After finishing the season at Anfield, Klopp went on an indefinite break and even stated that he has no plans to return to coaching for now.

However, everything changed suddenly, and it was revealed that Klopp will soon return to the dugout, though only for one match. The reason for this is the farewell game of Borussia Dortmund legends Łukasz Piszczek and Jakub Błaszczykowski.

On the official Borussia Dortmund page on the social network X, a video was posted announcing Klopp's return. It starts with a video call between Piszczek and Błaszczykowski discussing the farewell match, with Łukasz saying to his friend:

"Mate, we've got a farewell game, you know that? We need a coach, and I've got an idea. Let's call our former coach."

Then, Jürgen Klopp joins the call, wearing sunglasses and smiling. He says:

"Finally, your farewell match. Oh my God! And you want to train before the game. Are you crazy?"

After the players' laughter, he adds:

"I don't care. I'll do it like I used to. I'll start thinking about it five minutes beforehand.

Are the tickets sold out? I'd buy a ticket even if I wasn't planning to go."

The farewell match for Piszczek and Błaszczykowski will take place on September 7. Łukasz played for Dortmund from 2010 to 2021, making 264 appearances. Jakub, who played for the club from 2007 to 2016, featured in 197 matches. After leaving Borussia Dortmund, the players now play for Goczałkowice-Zdrój and Wisła Kraków, respectively.

Jürgen Klopp is considered a legend at Borussia Dortmund. During his seven years in charge, he won two consecutive Bundesliga titles, brought the DFB-Pokal to Dortmund, and twice claimed the Supercup. He also led the team to the Champions League final.

It's worth noting that after leaving Liverpool, Klopp has remained detached from football. He is relaxing, completing the construction of his villa in Mallorca, and attending various events, including the Euro 2024 final and a Taylor Swift concert.
