JURGEN KLOPP provided a glimpse into his now former office after a “strange and emotional” Liverpool training session.
The Reds were rocked in January when their German manager announced that he was going to leave Anfield after nine years at the end of the season.

Klopp, who departs after winning the Carabao Cup in February, will make an emotional farewell to the Kop against Wolves in his final game on Sunday.
He has guided the club to both Premier League title and Champions League glory as Arne Slot prepares to replace him in the dug-out.
However, ahead of his grand finale tomorrow, Klopp shocked fans by joining Instagram and then issuing a sweet farewell video.
He then followed that up with another video in which he provided supporters with a look inside his office at the club’s training ground.
And it showed that he has already boxed up his things as he prepared to leave the Reds’ HQ for the last time.
“So, here I am, last day in the office,” he begins with.
At that point he turned the camera to a window that overlooked one of the green pitches at Kirkby.
Klopp continued: “Last session done and it was strange I would say.
“Few of the coaches got quite emotional, I would so.
“I didn’t quite yet. I told myself that tomorrow’s a game and after that is holiday.
“Obviously, I decide what I think until I get overwhelmed tomorrow.
“So, I will leave this place which is… erm… yeah… an interesting experience I would say.”
And at that point he pans the camera around to show several boxes he has packed with his belongings and keepsakes before finishing with a cheeky smile and a “ay-ay-ay-ay-ay”.
He then finished off with: “See you tomorrow.”
Meanwhile Dutchman Slot is also set to move into Klopp’s house on Merseyside.
And the Anfield exodus continued this week when Liverpool announced that popular duo Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara will be leaving the club.
While the two players and Klopp will make an emotional farewell tomorrow, two of his staff members are looking forward to an exciting new challenge.
His assistant Pepijn Lijnders will take over as Red Bull Salzburg manager after he departs Liverpool.
And he will be joined at the Austrian Bundesliga giants by fellow Anfield coach Vitor Matos, who will go as his No.2.
