Liverpool to cancel end-of-season parade at Klopp’s request
Liverpool have reportedly decided not to hold an end-of-season parade at the request of manager Jurgen Klopp. They had considered the possibility of combining the celebrations with a farewell for Klopp after their Carabao Cup win but have since scrapped those plans. While they no longer have plans for a parade, the team still has a chance to stage one if they win the Premier League title. Klopp had expressed his reluctance to be the main focus of such an event, indicating that he did not want it to serve as a farewell for him.
Since Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015, the club has held two celebratory parades, the first after their Champions League triumph in 2019, and the second after winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup two years ago. The team had hoped to complete an unprecedented quadruple this season, following their Carabao Cup win, and their chances of winning the Premier League title still remain if Arsenal and Manchester City stumble in their final games. The team had contingency plans for the parade depending on their domestic and European success. However, Klopp’s wish to not have a parade focused on him led to the decision to shelve the plans.
Liverpool currently sits in third place in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Arsenal, with second-placed City four points ahead with a game in hand.
