      Klopp transformed Liverpool back into one of Europe’s most feared outfits since he took charge in October 2015 and has won everything.
      The Kop icon will forever be lovingly remembered as the man who ended their 30-year title drought.
      And he also led the Reds to three Champions League finals,- tasting success in 2019.
      Klopp says he informed Liverpool chiefs of his decision to step down last NOVEMBER but players and staff only learned of his exit yesterday.

      And he revealed that there were “tears” when he told his squad as the countdown officially starts to the end of his reign.
      While Liverpool fans were struggling to contain their emotions – with one even stating that he would rather his wife left him than Klopp quit Anfield – Manchester United fans declared it was the best news ever.
      And legendary Red Devils defender Neville could not resist making a slight jibe towards the Reds and his Liverpool legend Sky Sports co-pundit Carragher with a three-word message.
      Neville posted a photo of himself and Carragher smiling, seemingly on a previous night out somewhere.

      A third said: “He’s done you here Jamie ahaha.”
      While a fourth declared: “Nevs crack is brilliant.”
      Meanwhile, Carragher reacted to the bombshell yesterday by saying: “This news was always going to be a body blow to the club whenever it came.
      “I just thought it would be another few years away.
      “What a manager, what a man, let’s go out with a bang Jurgen!”

      Kammy — famed for his catchphrase of “Unbelievable Jeff” when giving match updates to Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling — told how he was on a busy Heathrow to King’s Cross service when he offered a “mature lady” the chance to sit down in his place.
      Chris, 66, said she replied: “Why would I need to?”
      He added on X/Twitter: “I gave her a look of disdain.
      “On reflection, I didn’t offer my seat to any blokes of a mature age.

      “So my apologies. Chivalry is dead.”
      The broadcaster added: “I have chewed on this since Tuesday night and realise I am still a dinosaur.
      “I’m sorry and accept that I was in the wrong and hopefully won’t do it again.”
      Some on the social media platform backed the star, saying: “As a mature woman, I commend your good manners.”

      But others insisted he was being old-fashioned, and sexist, and one said: “I don’t want men to offer me a seat, thanks.”
      Unsurprisingly, popular Chris was backed by male fans, with one saying writing: “Manners maketh the man.”
      Another fan added: “She is the one at fault.
      “There aren’t many of us left.”
      Last year, Chris received an MBE for services to charity and anti-racism.
      He has previously told how he was diagnosed with speech disorder, apraxia.
      The condition affects pathways from the brain, making it difficult for someone to say what they want correctly or consistently.
