Former Liverpool manager sent a message on via his social media after attending Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' concert at Anfield on Thursday, 13 June. He marked his return to Anfield, where he had managed the Red for nine years.

Klopp helped Liverpool end their 30-year-old wait for the Premier League title when The Reds broke Manchester City's dominance in 2020 to lift the Premier League crown. The 54-year-old also helped the Merseyside club win their sixth Champions League title in 2019.

The German bid farewell to the club and also participated in a farewell arrangement that was held for him titled 'An Evening with Jurgen Klopp & Special Guests'. Since his exit, he has been pretty active on the social scene.

He was spotted watching Borussia Dortmund play Real Madrid in the Champions League final at Wembley. Klopp was also seen hanging out with former Reds' manager Brendan Rodgers in Spain last week. He has also been pretty active on social media.

He sent fans into a frenzy after revealing that he would be present at Anfield to watch Taylor Swift perform.

Here's what he said via his Instagram:

"So! Back in Liverpool and now it's Taylor time. So three things I had to do today. "No I had two. A barber appointment with Umut then... we're going out to Anfield. First time going to not for a football game but in the stands and watching Taylor Swift. So yeah, I'm not Taylor made obviously... but Taylor ready."
"Let's go to Anfield and have a good night. A great night would be cool. See you there."

Following the concert, Klopp shared a selfie of himself wearing a pink hat. Sharing the picture, he wrote: (via LFC Transfer Room)

"I guess I'm officially a 'Swiftie'."

Notably, a new attendance record was set at Anfield to catch a glimpse of the voice behind songs like 'Shake it Off' and 'You Belong With Me'. While the exact number wasn't announced, it exceeded the previous record of 61,905, which was set on February 2, 1952 in the Reds' FA Cup 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.


Jurgen Klopp had said he might not coach again after leaving Liverpool

Klopp had stated that he would leave the Anfield club and would return as a fan of the club. However, he also alluded towards the possibility of not managing ever again.

Here's what he said (via ESPN):

"I don't know exactly why nobody believes I probably will not be a manager again. But I understand because obviously it seems to be a drug -- it looks like that because everybody comes back and everyone works until they are 70-something."

Klopp managed three teams over a 23-year period which included Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. His overall managerial record stands at 1078 matches managed, 596 games won, 244 games lost and 238 games drawn. His winning percentage is 55.28 and average points per game are 1.88.

He has won 13 trophies till date, most notable ones being one Premier League, Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup each with Liverpool and two Bundesliga titles with Dortmund.
