Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool swansong is set to feature in a TV documentary - which could end in him lifting the Premier League title.

We can reveal cameras will be granted behind the scenes access at Anfield and the club’s Melwood training ground to capture the drama of the German’s final months. The show is sure to be a hit with the club’s worldwide fanbase - and could even chronicle the Reds’ scramble to find a dugout successor.

A source said: “Jurgen has vetoed fly on the wall type documentaries in the past, but he was ok with this.” Liverpool previously featured in a documentary series, Being Liverpool, back in 2012, when Brendan Rodgers was in charge.

It was widely panned - and the club did not appear in the subsequent All Or Nothing programmes which chronicled dressing room spats at rivals Spurs and Man City.

Sparking shock on Friday when he revealed he will quit after this season, much-loved manager Klopp said: “I am, how can I say it, running out of energy.”

Friends are now urging him to rest when he leaves after nine years at Anfield.

Klopp is expected to spend more time in the sun at his multi-million-pound mansion in Majorca, bought in 2022. His former youth coach and family friend, Ulrich Rath, told us: “I think he’s looking to recover and recharge his batteries. And I think he needs that, too.”

Jens Haas, a childhood pal of Klopp in in his home village of Glatten, said: “When he was young, he was very attached to the area. I think it would be a possibility to come here now.”

Tributes continued to pour in yesterday, with ex-Reds striker Robbie Fowler calling for the club’s iconic Kop stand to be renamed The Klopp for the manager’s final home game.

Since joining in 2015, Klopp has won six top trophies, including the Champions League and Premier League. He got the freedom of Liverpool in 2022. The club was contacted for comment.
