The German coach changed the history of the club throughout the nine seasons he oversaw at Anfield, bringing every trophy possible back to Merseyside after years of struggle for the Reds.
His legacy still continues at Liverpool as the team the German put together during the summer of 2023 is now on the verge of winning the Premier League.
Klopp hopes to be at Anfield to witness Liverpool lift the Premier League and there is no question that his former players will be delighted to see him.
Harvey Elliott was one star the German coach showed a lot of faith in during his time with the Premier League giants and the 21-year-old has admitted he is “surprised” the club have not marked the legendary manager’s time with a certain gesture.
Klopp was always pushing Elliott to achieve more at Liverpool and there is no doubt that the English star would have had a bigger role this season had the German coach saw out his contract at Anfield.
Having given him his big break, there will always be some affection between Elliott and his former boss, with the midfielder recently stating that he is ‘surprised’ a statue has not been built for Klopp already.
The German coach deserves it for what he did on Merseyside and the former Liverpool boss has already made public how he would feel if Liverpool did create one for him.
By winning the Premier League in 2020, ending the Reds’ 30-year wait for the trophy, Klopp’s legacy at Liverpool was already cemented.
In the aftermath of the achievement, many called for a statue to be built of the German coach and when that was put to the 57-year-old, the former Reds boss admitted he did not wish to see this happen.
“I want to live for 30 or 40 years so I am not interested in a statue, for sure not in my lifetime – I don’t want to pass anything like that,” Klopp told a press conference in 2020 via GOAL.
