Klopp said, as quoted by Mail Sports,
”It’s a lifelong dream come true,’ Klopp said. ‘I wanted to have that again.
”Just a few months ago, I was given an emotional farewell in Liverpool. Today it was very emotional again.
”Some people might say that today he’s like this and tomorrow he’ll be like that. I explain it like this: when you have three children, you love them all. And that’s the same with my three clubs. I love them all.”
Since leaving Anfield, there have been speculations about Klopp’s future in sports.
Earlier this summer, he appeared to hint at not returning to management at the top level, but he would look into taking a position in football after his sabbatical.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have quite adjusted well to life without the German boss, having gotten off to a perfect start under new manager Arne Slot. The Merseyside Reds have won all their games so far this season., including a convincing win over Manchester United at the Old Trafford.
