Jurgen Klopp has reflected on the rollercoaster of emotions that the past fortnight has been after returning to Liverpool after a year away.

It began with the former Reds manager attending the LFC Foundation's gala ball at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. That was his first official appearance as an honorary ambassador of the club's official charity as a guest speaker.

‌

A day after the annual evening event, Klopp returned to the training ground in Kirkby over 12 months after last taking a session there on the invitation of Arne Slot. That allowed him the opportunity to congratulate the team in person.

‌

Then, when the Reds played Crystal Palace at Anfield in the final Premier League match of the season, Klopp was in attendance as they lifted the trophy. He also watched the club's Premier League victory parade through the city.

Klopp has now reminisced in an Instagram post. "Remembering the rollercoaster of emotions of the past two weeks!" the caption reads.

"From the Fair Play Award in Wiesbaden, to going back home to Liverpool to support the LFC foundation and then onto celebrating the championship #20. Watching the parade and also standing together with the whole nation during a terrible moment afterwards, and all the way to being honoured by the LMA in London along with other incredible personalities in Football - what a week!"

Klopp signed off the post by saying: "Thank you! YNWA," punctuating the caption with a red heart emoji.

As alluded to, Klopp attended the 33rd League Managers Association annual awards at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London. Part of the evening saw the trade union, which Klopp remains a member of, induct him into the LMA Hall of Fame 1000 Club alongside David Moyes, Mick McCarthy, Ian Holloway and Jose Mourinho.

Slot was also awarded Premier League Manager of the Year and the Sir Alex Ferguson Trophy for the LMA Manager of the Year. Klopp previously won the latter in 2020 and 2022.
