The news that Jurgen Klopp is to leave Liverpool at the end of the season has come as a huge shock to Reds' fans.
The iconic German manager announced his intentions to leave the club in a surprise announcement on Friday, January 26. Klopp cited 'energy levels' and elaborated by saying "I can understand that it's a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it."
"I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take. It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy."
It is believed the Reds manager informed club chiefs of his intentions to leave in November and now fans' attentions have turned to Klopp's successor and just how Liverpool will perform in the second half of the season that sees them in contention in every competition they're in.
With such an iconic figure leaving the club it's understandable that fans will want a keepsake of Klopp's time at the Reds, a time that saw him oversee huge success and deliver the Premier League and Champions League to the club. Whether that item is Klopp's famous cap, a signed photo or even one of the many books written about the man himself we've taken a look at five of the best souvenirs you can buy to commemorate one of Liverpool's best ever managers.
