Outgoing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp joins Instagram despite 'not being a social media guy' as he looks to stay in touch with Reds fans

Liverpool's beloved head coach addressed fans through the club's official social media accounts to let them know he has joined social media platform Instagram ahead of his final game in charge against Wolves on Sunday. His first post was a touching tribute telling the story of his farewell.

Klopp's message to his online fans was: "Dear Liverpudlians, we are getting closer to the end. On the 8th October 2015, we met for the first time properly. I would call it a love affair. From the first day, it was an incredible, incredible story. I enjoyed it so much and I wanted to thank you for all the support you gave us over the years. For all the power you gave us. I've wondered always that it feels like we write a story together, and that's how it feels today.

"It's a good book and if we read it in the future, we wil have a smile on our face. Leaving this incredible place is hard, but I want to stay in contact with you. And even when i'm not a social media guy, people told me social media helps with that, so, here we go. See you."

Liverpool fans will feel like they are losing a great friend when Klopp walks down the tunnel for the final time. Within just a few hours of creating his account, the German head coach has gained over 750,000 followers and it will likely soar over the 1 million mark by the end of the weekend.

Klopp says he has been spending a lot of time saying goodbye to staff across the week and will have the chance to directly address fans at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool will be looking to finish on a high as they welcome Gary O'Neil and Wolves to Merseyside.
