Liverpool could be set to stage a huge Carabao Cup parade for Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool could hold a Carabao Cup parade to honour Jurgen Klopp as he departs the club at the end of the 23/24 season.

Jurgen Klopp got the best possible start to his farewell quadruple attempt by beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley despite suffering significant injury losses in the build-up to the game.

Liverpool were without the key presence of Alisson Becker, Mo Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Darwin Nunez.

Despite being under major pressure from Chelsea towards the end of the 90 minutes, Klopp's young side held on to take the game to extra time where Virgil Van-Dijk was the hero with a 118th-minute winner.

After the match Klopp described the win as 'Easily the most special trophy I've ever won,' and Liverpool are reportedly planning a parade to honour the achievement.

The parade would take place at the end of the season, but the indication is it could be held regardless of Liverpool's success in other competitions.

Paul Joyce outlined the potential plans in The Times.

"Liverpool are discussing holding an end-of-season parade through the city centre after their Carabao Cup victory to allow supporters to provide Jürgen Klopp with a fitting farewell," Joyce wrote.

"The club would not normally conduct an open-top bus tour after a victory in the competition, but the fact that the revered Liverpool manager is stepping down in May after nine years in charge has prompted conversations at executive level.

"No final decision has been made and Liverpool could yet lift three more trophies this season given they are top of the Premier League and involved the latter stages of the FA Cup and Europa League," He continued.

Should the plans come to fruition, Liverpool City Council would need to extend a formal invitation to Liverpool to organise the street party.

Liverpool most recently held a parade in 2022 following their victories in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the event occurred the day after the club's 1-0 Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid in Paris.
