JURGEN KLOPP has returned to Anfield less than a month after his Liverpool goodbye.
The legendary manager quit the club at the end of the season in May and said an emotional farewell to supporters after nine years in charge.

Klopp went to the concert with his wife UllaRex
But last night, Klopp was back on his old patch as he enjoyed a Taylor Swift concert from the stands.
He watched her Eras Tour show from the VIP section alongside his wife Ulla Sandrock.
Klopp posted several snaps of his night out on Instagram and cleverly captioned his post based on a Swift song, writing: “Going back to a place I know ‘All Too Well’.”
The German boss said: “Back in Liverpool and now it’s Taylor time.
“We’re going out to Anfield. First time going to Anfield not for a football game – but in the stands and watching Taylor Swift.
“I’m not Taylor made, obviously, but Taylor ready. Let’s have a great night.”
And by the end of the show, Klopp had immersed himself in the pop star’s experience, posting a hilarious snap of him smiling in a pink cowgirls hat.
He added: “I guess I am officially a Swiftie.”

Klopp has botched his Liverpool exit… and it’s cost him his legacy, says Dave Kidd
By Dave Kidd
NOW we know Jurgen Klopp’s final major trophy haul at Liverpool — one Champions League, one Premier League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and (if you must) a World Club Cup.
But where does his reign stand among the greatest of the Premier League era?
In black-and-white terms, Klopp is way behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, the only two men to have won multiple Premier Leagues and a Champions League at the same club.
Those two sit alongside Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Sir Matt Busby as the undoubted all-time managerial greats of the English game.
But Klopp ranks in the next tier down — with Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho (the Chelsea version), Bill Shankly and Don Revie.
These were all men with the strength of character to transform their clubs in their own image and enjoy success but who did not win as much as they might have done.
Had Klopp managed to keep his intentions under wraps and ended up with another title, perhaps even a treble or quadruple, he’d have edged himself up into that highest echelon with Ferguson, Guardiola, Clough, Paisley and Busby.
But deciding the timing and the manner of your exit is one of the toughest calls for any manager or sportsman.
Klopp got it wrong.
