Jurgen Klopp delivered a farewell speech after his final Liverpool game.
The outgoing German made an emotional address to the Anfield faithful in the aftermath of his side’s Premier League final-day win over Wolves on Sunday.
Here is everything that Klopp said in full during his emotional send-off.
“I’m completely surprised, I thought I’d already be in pieces. I’m so happy, I can’t believe it.
“I’m so happy about you all, about the atmosphere, about the game, about being part of this family, about us.
“The atmosphere has been great, thanks for ignoring my request to sing my song completely.
“It doesn’t feel like an end, it just feels like the start because I saw today a football team playing full of talent, full of youth, full of creativity, full of desire.
“That’s one part of development, that’s what you need.
“Obviously since a few weeks, I get absolutely too much attention, it feels really uncomfortable, but in this time I realised a lot of things.
“People told me that I turned them from a doubter into a believer, that’s not true. Believing is an active act, you have to do it yourself.
“I just said do it yourself and you did it, that’s a big difference. Nobody tells you now to stop believing because the club is in a better moment, maybe not ever, I’ll have to ask Kenny [Dalglish]…since along time, let me say it like that.
“We have this wonderful stadium, we have this wonderful training centre, we have you: the superpower of world football – wow!
“We decide if we are worried or excited, we decide if we believe or we don’t believe, if we trust or we don’t trust and since today I am one of you and I keep believing in you. I stay a believer, 100 per cent.
“I saw a lot of people crying and it will happen to me tonight as well because I will miss people, that’s clear.
“But as well change is good and just you never know exactly what to expect but if you go with the right attitude into that everything will be fine because the basics are 100 per cent there.
“That’s the team and the new coach, manager..and you give actually a shit what I want you to sing but I have an idea. I heard the song today a few times and you can do that.
“I have no problem with that, let’s see then what the response will be, ‘Arne Slot! Lalalalala… Arne Slot! Lalalalalala…’
“Imagine the next season starts and you are not waiting for what’s going on, no, you go full throttle into it! You welcome the new manager like you welcomed me. You go all in from the first day!
“When it’s hard, you keep believing. You push the team, you wait not for the goal or whatever. Be on your toes before we start. We, because I am one of you now. I love you to bits.
“On my jumper is ‘Thank you Luv’ and ‘I will never walk alone again’. Thank you for that. You are the best people in the world. Thank you!”
