Liverpool’s Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah has sent a heartfelt message to Jurgen Klopp following the conclusion of the German manager’s tenure at Anfield. The duo’s seven-year partnership, marked by numerous triumphs, came to an emotional end this week.
Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, nearly two years into Klopp’s tenure. Under Klopp’s guidance, Salah became a pivotal figure in the Reds’ resurgence, contributing significantly to their Champions League victory in 2019 and their first Premier League title in 30 years in 2020, along with several other trophies.
Despite a public touchline disagreement during a match against West Ham in April, Salah’s farewell to Klopp was filled with gratitude and respect. He refrained from mentioning the spat, instead focusing on their shared successes.
“It was great sharing all those trophies and experiences with you over the past seven years,” Salah wrote on social media. “I wish you the best of luck for the future and hope we meet again.”
Klopp’s next steps remain uncertain, but it is expected that the former Borussia Dortmund coach will take a sabbatical after his near-decade-long stint in the Premier League. Salah, contracted with Liverpool until 2025, has been linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia, though nothing has been confirmed.
As Klopp departs, Liverpool faces a significant transition, with a new manager seeking to build on the solid foundation left by the charismatic German. Fans and players alike will undoubtedly miss Klopp’s presence on the touchline, but his legacy at Anfield is firmly cemented.
