It's now obvious Jurgen Klopp is coming back to Liverpool.
For supporters across the globe, the German coach is more than just a manager, he is a like a father figure who we look up to and turn to for inspiration.
Klopp restored belief at Liverpool at a time when the club had lost its direction and slipped away from competing for the very highest honours.
The German completely embraced the ethos of the club. He was the perfect embodiment of what Liverpool stand for. To never give up and to fight against adversity.
He didn’t simply rebuild a team; he brought Liverpool’s identity back to life. From the moment he arrived in 2015, he created a deep bond with supporters through his passion, charisma, and genuine understanding of what the club represents to the city.
Under his leadership, Liverpool returned to the pinnacle of the game, winning the Champions League in 2019 and finally ending a 30-year wait for the league title with Premier League success in 2020. But his legacy cannot be measured by trophies alone, he reconnected the club with its soul.
Those famous fist pumps toward the Kop became a symbol of that connection. With Klopp in charge, Liverpool didn’t just start winning again, they rediscovered who they truly were, standing tall once more among football’s elite.
Now things could not be the same under Arne Slot. There is no connection with him and the fans, even after winning the Premier League last season.
Slot doesn't inspire confidence. He makes you question yourself, he makes you wonder sometimes what he means with his strange remarks in his press conferences and what his plans are.
When Liverpool go out and get trounced 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup and he's had two weeks to prepare for this game, it really shows just how out of depth he is.
The playing style he instilled is not heavy metal football either. It's slow and dull - and far too easy to breakdown. It makes fans not even want to watch games or attend them at Anfield.
The chorus of boos, directed towards his team in recent weeks has showed just how everything has fallen apart under his reign.
Slot will be leaving the club sooner rather than later. He won't be a Liverpool head-coach in the long-term.
Just who will replace him remains to be seen. But one thing is clear, Klopp will ultimately be back. The last seven days with the City defeat and Klopp returning to Anfield made that obvious.
In a recent interview Klopp has admitted he would be open to coaching again. Speaking in another previous interview with Steven Bartlett, Klopp refused to rule out a return to Liverpool.
Now, literally seven days before the Reds' defeat to City, last Saturday, he was back at Anfield as an assistant coach of the club's Legends team against Borussia Dortmund.
And immediately, the fans took to him. He settled back into the norm, walking around the communities of the city and getting Anfield excited again.
You could see he missed the adulations, he missed the experience. Liverpool has become his home and it was obvious on his face that he feels like he belongs on Merseyside.
His cheesy grin, the emotions that he clearly felt coming back to a place he called home, it's obvious it's not just the fans who miss him but Klopp who misses Liverpool as well.
That's what made it obvious this weekend that he will be back, sooner or later Klopp's return to the club is inevitable. He misses us just like we miss him.
And with Arne Slot's time obviously coming to an end very soon, too, it just feels like the perfect solution.
