This man is a legend full stop

[@meghbhavsar3968]

He'll be remembered, yes

[@christianwag3015]

From doubters to believers 🔥🔥🔥

[@TerribleEnglish]

4 seasons going for the league title, 4 European finals, 3 domestic cups and the World Club cup - what an amazing time.

[@stephenvincent2147]

Liverpool should definitely won more with Klopp, but that doesn't dilute his legacy. Klopp and Liverpool have provided some amazing football nights. Who can forget the Barca match, unbelievable.

[@drdassler]

Yeh, they should learn how to score in finals. 😄

[@azharabdulraus4880]

Klopp didn't win many cups for us but he won many of our hearts.

[@rupaknicholas4557]

Klopp made the club believe after over a decade that they can win and dominate in Europe.

[@DC-zi6se]

Hope he goes to Real Madrid when Pep returns to Barcelona. Final Conclusion of the greatest rivalry.

[@Kevon420]

That would be mindblowing, imagine the football they would play with Bellingham in his prime running the show. I don't see Klopp going to any club besides Real Madrid or Barcelona whenever he comes back to management, maybe he would take over the Germany head coaching job.

[@trephix]

Just imagine his legacy without 115 charges FC

[@jonchapman86]

We were tenth when he took over.... And had been very average for a few years.

[@russellward4624]

Very average? They were a Gerrard slip away from winning the title 2 years before.

[@jonchapman86]

@@russellward4624 1 champions league appearance in 6 years before Klopp arrived..... average.

[@AdelbertFiddler]

That was a one off season due to Suarez​@@russellward4624

[@ALQUDSTUBE]

Thank you Jurgen klopp for all good memories with LFC . What a human being? His name will be sung by LFC fans forever, He ink his name in LFC history book. We miss him a lot. Thank you Jurgen Klopp

[@mustakkarbhari5326]

Absolutely 💯 correct ❤

[@user-hu8yy6xo5g]

I love him.

[@Riyad-su2mt]

Jan is spot on

[@thebrickguru6838]

Don says, "No, I totally agree " 😂

[@darnellengelbrecht4400]

Liverpool were in the Travolta-sphere before Klopp, that space in between the last major movies / trophies, just floating in lower earth orbit showing flashes of what the giant they once were

[@purdiantoro7846]

As a football fan I'll missed Jurgen Klopp as football manager and a human.

[@thebrickguru6838]

Put the pundits' names on the screen when they are talking

[@jonathanmartin4125]

Love Jan he is so funny and clever

[@russellward4624]

Lfc were Gerrard slipping on his face away from winning the title 2 years before he took over. This narrative about "lfc were in the wildnerness" is just nonsense.

[@redroish]

Buddy suarez sterling left after that. Get your head out of your mother’s arsehole.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

But they fell away after that in the 2014/15 season and were in the bottom half of the table in late 2015. I take your point though.

[@Kevon420]

While's Klopp's league title and domestic cup wins in two of the three or four best leagues in the world (England and Germany) are very impressive, as well as his triumph in the Champions League, his affect went beyond some impressive trophies (he has 'enough' but possibly should've won a few more at LFC at least.) His impact on Liverpool and football overall exceeded all of my expectations, he is simply a legend...an iconic figure to treasure forever. He has earned his rest, however long he wishes it to be.

[@tagatasaili]

Remember when he was appointed, told my friend a Liverpool supporter, he will change your club. 9 years, as a United Fan, I'm glad he is moving forward

[@evangelinewangari1124]

Klopp made Liverpool Great Again

[@kelvinsekwati4016]

Klopp must coach man u!

[@edwardkelly3280]

Liverpool was extremely close to winning EPL under Brendan Rodgers before Jurgen Klopp

[@ericthekop9624]

Hii. 😢😢

[@jisun461]

Really poor ending especially in Europe. Pure arrogance

[@ktom5262]

Oh, Liverpool were "in wilderness"?😂 Didn't they just in 2013/14 season finish 2nd just behind City, with a record number of goals scored? If that's "wilderness" I'm the emperor of China.

[@HungryEatNow]

Underwhelming

[@pheaseyy]

This downfall needs to be studied. Ever since he said he was leaving it feels like the entire team is relieved.

[@VantaBlackhole]

What downfall? They didn’t win everything his last season as a coach. Never seen that before.

[@DC-zi6se]

There's a downfall???

[@pheaseyy]

@@DC-zi6se yup. They all used to love each other and now the last few weeks/months have been terrible. Something happened for sure.

[@onochieosaji9427]

Go to bed, kid, only adults allowed here.

[@goat6262]

1:00 he thinks he is pep 🤣

[@Yoyo-sy5kl]

Nobody mentioned Pep man. Does it bother City fans so much that nobody cares? Have to constantly bring up their manager.

[@alexischristou3266]

What a nonsense comment.

[@DC-zi6se]

Pep would personally disown you for saying that. Perhaps slap you as well.

[@Rain188]

Yeah he is not Pep. He is a manager with passion for people

[@DC-zi6se]

Disgraceful comment.

[@smainmancer3040]

HE..LEIVE..THE..DIRTY..FOOTBALL
