Klopp brought the curtain down on his nine-year tenure at the end of the season with a farewell event taking place at the M&S Arena. Some 11,000 fans attended with Klopp taking part in a Q&A on his time in charge.
The 56-year-old addressed Manchester City's FFP charges among other things, and also reflected how Liverpool could have signed three world superstars before their moves elsewhere.
In an emotional speech Klopp revealed that he will remain an ambassador for the club and its LFC Foundation. The official charity works closely with local communities in an attempt to better the lives of young people and families.
Klopp and wife Ulla have lent their support to an array of programs during his nine years at Anfield with all proceeds from Tuesday night's event going to the charity. Speaking to the crowd, Klopp said: "I got the key to the city, and it means so much more than you might think.
"We would love to help if we can. It means a lot and it comes with responsibility, and I love to live this responsibility as much as we can.”

Klopp's status means he is likely to return to Liverpool to make appearances at LFC Foundation events. The Reds have hosted Legends matches in the past for the charity with the German potentially returning to manage one day in the future.
