The former Reds manager left the club at the end of the previous season but will be back next month
Jurgen Klopp is set to return to Liverpool next month to take part in the LFC Foundation’s Gala Ball as a guest speaker. Klopp became the Foundation’s first-ever honorary ambassador last summer after leaving the club and will head back to Merseyside for the May 23 event at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, which will be held in partnership with Forever Reds.
The black-tie event will see guests sit down for a three-course dinner before enjoying the headline entertainment.
And with the event being held on the weekend of the final Premier League game of the campaign, it raises the prospect the former boss being at Anfield for the possibility of Arne Slot’s men lifting the title.

The Reds, who need 11 points from their final seven games to become champions, will host Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25, with Klopp potentially set to attend following the Friday evening event at the Anglican Cathedral.
Klopp said: “Everyone knows how much I love the work of the LFC Foundation and I can’t wait to join them to celebrate that work and help to raise important funds for them to continue the incredible things they are doing.”
Matt Parish, chief executive of LFC Foundation, added: “We are looking forward to this year’s Gala Ball and we are delighted that Jürgen will be joining us to support the event.
“Jurgen was a fantastic advocate for our work during his time at the club and we appreciate his ongoing support and hope as many people as possible can join us on what is sure to be a memorable night and an opportunity to raise funds to allow us to continue to grow and support even more people in our communities as well as supporting Forever Reds.”
Funds raised through the event will support the work of the LFC Foundation who supported over 127,000 people last season, and recently launched a new strategy to increase that figure to 500,000 people per term.
The LFC Foundation aims to tackle social inequalities and believes that no child’s life chances should be determined by their postcode.
Funds raised through events such as this will help the LFC Foundation to continue to deliver sustainable and long-term change for communities and ensure its work continues to benefit future generations.
