Jurgen Klopp ensured Arne Slot will be given a warm welcome as his replacement at Liverpool after starting a song for the club's next manager during his farewell speech.
Klopp's nine-year reign at Anfield ended with a 2-0 win over Wolves on the final game of the season.
But the result of the match was always going to be secondary to Klopp's farewell after the club's title challenge collapsed a few weeks ago.
The streets of Liverpool were lined in a sea of red before kick-off as the club's supporters honoured their iconic manager.
Klopp's name rang around Anfield continuously throughout the match and emotions ran high at the final whistle when his time as manager officially came to an end.
Virgil van Dijk could be heard choking back tears during his on-pitch interview while Klopp's wife, Ulla, was seen wiping her eyes in the stands.
Not one Liverpool fan left the stadium after the match as a short ceremony was arranged to honour Klopp with club owner John C Henry in attendance, along with his coaching staff and both Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara who are also leaving Anfield as free agents.
The 62,000-seater capacity stadium then waited with bated breathe for Klopp to grab the microphone and he didn't disappoint.
He had the Anfield crowd laughing and singing his name before he delivered a message urging them to get behind their next manager.
