Jurgen Klopp will return to the dugout for a special farewell match for iconic Borussia Dortmund duo Lukasz Piszczek and Jakub Blaszczykowski
Klopp is settling in to life outside of football management as the Premier League season returns
Klopp officially confirmed the appointment of successor Arne Slot after sparking a chant for the Dutchman during his final addressing of the Anfield crowd.
It remains to be seen when Klopp will next be in the competitive role will be but he has already been honoured on Merseyside.
Klopp became the first-ever honorary ambassador of the LFC Foundation, the club's official charity, in July.
On Friday, in a promotional video published by Dortmund, it was confirmed that Klopp would return to the dugout at Signal Iduna Park for the first time in almost ten years.
Piszczek begins
"Kollega, we have a farwell game, do you know that?" .
"We need a coach and I have an idea, we'll call the retired coach," before the video call splits into three screens showing Klopp with black sunglasses on.
"You finally have your farewell game," says the former Liverpool boss. "Oh my god. And you want to train, are you stupid?"
"I do it like I used to, I start thinking about it five minutes beforehand," he added. The video was capped with: "Kloppo ist dabei," which translates to 'Kloppo is there', relating to the exhibition in Dortmund for the Der BVB stars.
Klopp has been forced to speak out against the links with the positions popping up across the world. He said at the end of July:
Klopp Said
"At the moment, there is nothing at all in terms of jobs. No club, no country.
"A few people must not have heard this part. And it would be the biggest loss of face in the history of football if you said, ‘I’ll make an exception for you now’.
"I’m going to do some work. I’m too young to only do padel tennis and grandchildren. Will that be coach again?
“I would actually rule that out at the moment. Let’s see what it will look like in a few months. Nothing is coming through at the moment.
