Jurgen Klopp created a chant for incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot during his farewell speech

Jurgen Klopp created a chant for incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot after his final game in charge of the club – and it's a gesture that sums up the man.

The 56-year-old surprised world football in January when he announced his decision to step down as Liverpool boss at the end of the 2023/24 season.

He attributed his decision to “running out of energy” after a memorable nine-year spell featuring Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup wins.

It has been an emotional month for the German and on Sunday, he stepped out at Anfield for the last time when the Reds came up against Wolves.

Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah sealed a comfortable 2-0 win over Gary O'Neil's side, who struggled throughout.

And after the full-time whistle, an emotional Klopp delivered a farewell speech that included a touching tribute to incoming Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

As you can see from the footage above, Klopp repeated the chant: "ARNE SLOT, LA, LA, LA, LA,LA!" as the Anfield crowd lapped up his efforts.

Moments later, he opened up about his exit in what was an emotional farewell.

"I'm surprised I'm not already in pieces," he smiled. "I'm so happy, I can't believe it. The atmosphere, the game, being part of this family, how we celebrate at this stadium. Thanks so much.

"It doesn't feel like an end, just feels like a start. I saw a team full of creativity, desire. Since a few weeks I have had too much attention, but in this time I realised a lot of things.

"People told me I turned you from doubter to believe, that's not true. Believing is what you do yourself, you did it. Nobody tells you to stop believing, this club is in a better moment than for a long time.

"We decide if we're worried or excited. We decide if you believe or don't believe, trust or don't trust. Since today I am one of you and I believe in you."

"Since today I am one of you" ❤️

Earlier this week, Slot confirmed he will leave Feyenoord at the end of the season and replace Klopp as Liverpool manager.

"I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year," he said on Friday. "Until now I was not thinking about this being the build-up to my last match, but that starts coming now. At the beginning of the week you are thinking about training and those kind of things.

"But the feeling gets stronger now. That is why I'm a little bit late now [for the news conference], because I wanted to say goodbye to some people personally and take time for them, more than just shaking hands.

"I understand that good results help, but it is very nice to feel that people really are thinking it's a pity that I'm leaving."
