Why Jurgen Klopp is set for managerial return this weekend after leaving Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp is set to make his first appearance on the touchline since leaving Liverpool this weekend – he was spotted in Dortmund on Friday ahead of the event

Jurgen Klopp, the iconic former Liverpool manager, is heading back to the familiar touchline of Signal Iduna Park for a special cameo at Borussia Dortmund. Having bowed out from the Reds with a 2-0 victory over Wolves concluding his spell in May, this Saturday’s testimonial signals his first touchline return post-Anfield.

While firmly stating that he would be taking a one-year hiatus from football management, Klopp couldn’t resist the call to manage once more at the hallowed ground of Dortmund on September 7. It’s all for the goodbyes of ex-Dortmund stalwarts Lukasz Piszczek and Jakub Blaszczykowski who were pillars under Klopp’s era at BVB.
