Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed his plans to return to the club this season but admitted he is wary of bringing bad luck to the Reds as they push for the Premier League title. Klopp has not been back to Merseyside since leaving the club at the end of last season, concluding his nine-year tenure in which he won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.His departure has allowed Arne Slot to enjoy a strong season without distractions. Liverpool currently holds a 13-point lead over their closest rivals, Arsenal, with just 10 matches remaining in the Premier League.Jürgen Klopp is the only manager in Liverpool’s history to win the top-flight league title, the European Cup / UEFA Champions League, the EFL Cup and the FA Cup.Completed it. 🍻 pic.twitter.com/U1PT0rSlEv— Squawka (@Squawka) January 26, 2024 Klopp has expressed his desire to return and join the fans in celebrating a potential title triumph. Speaking at a charity event in South Africa, he admitted he was hesitant to attend a Liverpool match because he feared he might bring bad luck to his former players, potentially leading to an unexpected defeat. However, he expects to make his return when it feels safest—on the final day of the season when Liverpool hosts Crystal Palace.”That’s the idea to be honest, but we will see. I think I will be there for the last game… I didn’t want to go earlier to be honest because I didn’t want to jinx it all the time. If I’m in the stadium for the first time and they lose, “oh f*** sake”. So I go there when it’s decided”, German strategist said.Jurgen Klopp will be with the people to watch the parade if Liverpool win the league ❤️🏆 pic.twitter.com/YFb8AUBoQl— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) March 7, 2025 Even Arne Slot revealed last month that he had twice invited Klopp back to the club, adding that the former Liverpool boss is welcome to rejoin them whenever he chooses.”I invited him to the City and Real home games but he told me he was somewhere else in the world. He can come here any time he wants, to the games or even to this building. For me, he is more than welcome. In the first half of the season he was enjoying life, with his wife, and at this moment he has a job to do”, Slot concluded.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 28Saturday15:30: (3.95) Nott.Forest (3.80) Man.City (1.95)18:00: (2.05) Brighton (3.60) Fulham (3.80)18:00: (1.48) Crystal Palace (4.50) Ipswich (6.50)18:00: (1.13) Liverpool (12.0) Southampton (18.0)20:30: (2.35) Brentford (3.60) Aston Villa (3.10)23:00: (2.60) Wolverhampton (3.15) Everton (2.85)Sunday17:00: (1.22) Chelsea (7.75) Leicester (13.0)17:00: (2.65) Tottenham (3.85) Bournemouth (2.55)19:30: (5.10) Man.Utd.
