Jurgen Klopp is set to return to Anfield in March 2026 as part of the management team for a charity match between Liverpool Legends and Borussia Dortmund. The game, scheduled for Saturday, March 28, will raise funds for the LFC Foundation, the club's official charity.
Klopp, who serves as the Foundation's honorary ambassador, will work alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish in the managerial setup. The Liverpool Legends side will be led on the pitch by club legend Steven Gerrard. The match takes place during the March international break.
The 58-year-old stepped down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 2023/24 season after nearly nine years in charge, during which he led the club to the Premier League title in 2020 and Champions League glory in 2019. He now serves as Red Bull's global head of football.
All proceeds from the fixture will support the LFC Foundation's employability initiatives, helping people gain qualifications and learn new skills through mentoring and training programmes. The Foundation aims to support 500,000 people per season by 2030.
Klopp has previously praised the Foundation's work, stating in July 2024: 'The LFC Foundation does an incredible job in the community... I am really proud to continue my work with them.' The match will also be emotional for Klopp given his deep connections to Dortmund, where he managed for seven years and won two Bundesliga titles.
