Jurgen Klopp may not be looking for a new club right now but the former Liverpool boss has announced he has become a member of a different kind of club.
Klopp returned to Anfield less a month after his emotional farewell, attending a Taylor Swift concert on Thursday evening.

In the UK portion of the tour, the pop sensation brought her Eras Tour to Merseyside. Not unexpectedly, Klopp and his spouse Ulla managed to secure some tickets at the venue where he was referred to as the boss for over ten years.
Earlier in the day, Klopp revealed on Instagram that he would be attending the performance, stating that he was Taylor ready but not tailor-made.
And the German took to social media to share some content from his night out.
Klopp shared picture of himself wearing a one of Swift’s trademark pink cowboy hats, saying ‘I guess I am officially a Swiftie’.
The 56-year-old also a selfie with the stage behind him, writing ‘what a great night!’
Klopp waved goodbye to the Reds faithful in May when he took charge of his final game, a 2-0 win over Wolves, triggering emotional scenes from the fans in attendance.
After relaxing abroad with his wife Ulla as he gets used to life away from the Reds after nine years in charge, he is back in the place he once called him ready to enjoy some down time.
In an hour-long Q&A with staff at Liverpool last month, the German, according to The Athletic, revealed Ulla purchased tickets for the pair to watch Swift’s Eras Tour at his former home stadium.

According to the report, Klopp revealed the news after being asked what music he likes listening to when he gets a moment away from football.
After answering the question, he is said to have broken into song, covering Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ in front of the crowd.
Swift had been performing in Edinburgh before moving to Liverpool, with her first show in the city on Thursday.

Klopp joined Instagram last month in a move to stay connected with Liverpool fans after leaving and shared a tear-jerking farewell video following his final training session as his first post.
Despite acknowledging that he is not a “social media guy,” he wanted to maintain relationships with people on the platform after working at Anfield for nine years.
Since then, the German has posted a lot of pictures, including ones of him playing tennis, attending a Q&A in Liverpool, and winning the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019.
In other news, he has been having a great time in Majorca. He paid £3.4 million for a property on the Balearic island, which he intends to turn into “an ecological family paradise.”
On why he was drawn to Majorca, Klopp told the podcast Willipedia via Bild: ‘I’ve dreamed of having a house in the south all my life. I like the weather, the climate, I like the people.
‘There are lots of things I like here and also people I already know. It’s not like I’m looking for new friends. I already have friends for life, and if some of them are here too, that’s cool.’
He was also spotted at Wembley at the start of June as he watched another of his former sides, Borussia Dortmund, take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
