Liverpool FC announce new series to document Jurgen Klopp’s final months in charge
Liverpool FCLiverpool have announced filming has begun on a new documentary series to follow the club during the final months of Jurgen Klopp’s time at the club.
The legendary manager dropped a bombshell last week by revealing he would be leaving Anfield at the end of the season after nine years at the helm.
Klopp has won all there is to win since taking charge in 2015, including Liverpool’s first ever Premier League title, and cited a lack of energy as a key factor in his decision.
The German’s departure will mark the end of an era at Liverpool and the club has moved to ensure his remaining time in charge is documented.
The new multi-episode series has begun filming and will air after the conclusion of the 2023/24 season. Liverpool stress that while the series will capture candid moments, the camera will only be allowed in pre-agreed areas and won’t encroach on private spaces.
It will be filmed, directed and produced by Lorton Entertainment, which is behind the likes of the Diego Maradona movie, the Steven Gerrard film, Make Us Dream, on Amazon Prime, plus Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story on Disney+.
What has been said
“With this being my final season I thought we should provide a rare opportunity for viewers to have more of an inside look at what makes this club so special: its people, from our fans to our players and those who work so hard behind the scenes, constantly in pursuit of success for Liverpool Football Club.
“Thanks to this new documentary series, viewers will be able to see what I see every day at this great club, and understand those amazing people more.”
Drew Crisp, senior vice-president of digital at LFC, added: “This exciting new multi-episodic documentary will be unique and show the real, authentic side of the club.
“It will not only delve into its rich history and its unrivalled connection with its supporters, but will also explore what makes Liverpool Football Club succeed, on and off the pitch. We’re delighted to have the full backing of Jürgen and everyone across the club.
“This will be a football club documentary series like no other.”
