After his final game managing Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp gave an emotional speech and led chants for incoming manager Arne Slot. Klopp ended his nine-year tenure with a 2-0 win over Wolves at Anfield, thanks to first-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah.

Post-match, Klopp addressed the home crowd, expressing his surprise at feeling more joy than sadness and thanking the fans for their unwavering support. He highlighted the talent, youth, and desire of the team, urging fans to continue believing in the club's bright future. With a smile, Klopp led a chant for Arne Slot, singing, "Arne Slot! La, la, la la! Arne Slot! La, la, la, la!" He encouraged fans to welcome Slot with the same enthusiasm they showed him.

Klopp, emotional yet grateful, reflected on transforming the club's mentality from doubters to believers, attributing the change to the fans. He praised Liverpool's facilities, the passionate supporters, and the strong position of the club. With a playful nod to his jumper's message, "Thank You Luv" and "I Will Never Walk Alone Again," Klopp expressed his deep affection for the club and its fans.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Arne Slot would succeed Klopp, with Liverpool agreeing on a compensation package with Slot's current club, Feyenoord. Slot, who led Feyenoord to an Eredivisie title, a KNVB Cup, and a Europa Conference League final, received a heartfelt farewell from Feyenoord fans.

Following the final game, Liverpool players, including Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, were visibly emotional. Alexander-Arnold, who debuted under Klopp, was seen crying as Klopp performed his signature fist-bumps in front of the Kop. Klopp concluded his tenure with a heartfelt message to his players, expressing his love and excitement to watch their future development.

In a video on Liverpool's official account, Klopp reiterated his pride in the team's abilities and their potential for continued success, despite outside criticisms. He thanked the team and fans, leaving a legacy of passion, belief, and unforgettable moments at Liverpool.
