Liverpool are the latest major club to allow a documentary team behind the scenes, with a series set to follow Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield.
The Premier League leaders announced on Wednesday that a multi-episode documentary about Liverpool will be released after the end of the 2023-24 season. It has not been confirmed yet where the series will air.
This news follows last week’s shock announcement that German Klopp will step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season.
“With this being my final season,” the 56-year-old said on the club’s website, “I thought we should provide a rare opportunity,” for viewers to have, “more of an inside look at what makes this club so special”.
“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.”
