Your support makes all the difference.Borussia Dortmund have sent former manager Jurgen Klopp a brilliant, Beatles-themed message wishing him well after he took the manager's job at Liverpool.
Klopp signed a three-year at Anfield and gave his first press conference today.
Upon hearing the news last night that he had been given the Reds' job, Dortmund tweeted out a good luck message referencing Liverpool's most famous sons, The Beatles, borrowing a line from their 1967 classic "A Day In The Life", and showing a mocked-up image of Klopp crossing Abbey Road, just like the Fab Four's memorable album cover.
Liverpool then responded to Dortmund with a message of their own. Both Liverpool and Dortmund sing "You'll Never Walk Alone".
Klopp was manager at Dortmund for seven years, between 2008 and 2015, winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012.
The German said at his Anfield unveiling today that he wants to be known as the "Normal One", not the "Special One" like Jose Mourinho.
