Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he'll always appreciate his relationship with the fans.

Klopp says farewell after nine years in charge on Sunday against Wolves.

He said, "It will be so hard to say goodbye. I loved everything about this place. I take memories with me, fantastic memories. Friendships forever. When time slips through your fingers, you only realise later on. I don't think it was a quick nine years. We used absolutely everything, tried to make the best of everything and enjoy it as much as possible.

"I will not forget a day in that time because I met the best people I ever met and the best club I could have imagined in a wonderful, very special city. Nothing is perfect these days, but the majority of people in this city are as close as possible. For the way they welcome you, the way they treat you. It's wonderful to know I spent a big time of my life here. I got the key of the city. For me, it feels like responsibility. If the city needs me, I'm there. I want to be helpful in whatever way."

Klopp also said: "I can't. I try to explain why the people like me so much. I don't understand it properly. We never really disappointed them. The club is special, the club means the world to so many people. Emails, letters, if I answer them all I'm here until 2028. I apologise.

"I couldn't sort tickets for the last game, there were a lot of requests. LFC TV had me read letters yesterday. With one, I burst into tears. Football changes lives and I know that. We did that. Experience is there to learn from. Keep doing it for the next manager and you will feel the same way. We have very special supporters. The last nine years meant the world to them. I'm happy about that."
