Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to return to the dugout for a special testimonial at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

The German, who announced his departure from the Reds in January and concluded his tenure with a 2-0 win over Wolves in May, will take charge of a game for the first time since his Anfield exit.

Although Klopp has confirmed he would take a break from football management for one year, he is expected to return to the technical area for a one-off match at the iconic Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, September 7.

Klopp spent seven successful years at Dortmund between 2008 and 2015, winning 180 of his 319 matches in charge.

During that time, Klopp guided Dortmund to the Bundesliga title twice, the DFB-Pokal and almost guided them to the Champions League, only to lose the 2012/13 final to Bayern Munich.

Klopp is renowned as one of the greatest Dortmund managers ever and he is set to be back at the club this weekend.
