The commemorative match will take place this Saturday (7). Former players who marked the era of Borussia during their runner-up finish in the Champions League in the 12/13 season will also be present, including Sokratis, Subotic, Schmelzer, and even Nuri Sahin, the current coach of the club.
Still not thinking about an official return to football, Klopp is enjoying a sabbatical year after leaving Liverpool.
Klopp’s Tenure at Borussia Dortmund
At the helm of the yellow and black team, Klopp was on the sidelines from 2008 to 2015. His tenure was marked by a great generation of players, notably the trio of Reus, Lewandowski, and Gotze.
In total, he won two German Championships, one German Cup, and two German Super Cups.
