Paddy Power shared a hilarious clip on social media after Jurgen Klopp announced his shock departure from Liverpool on Friday. 

Coined as an ‘urgent appeal for Liverpool supporters everywhere’, the video features ‘Graeme’ submitting a request for compassionate leave after finding out Klopp was leaving Liverpool. 

It continues to parody Graeme, who despite having two children and getting married, insisted that Klopp was ‘the best thing in his life’ in the last eight years. 

‘There are thousands more like Graeme’ continues the clip, before it shares the ‘Jurgen Klopp hotline’ in which users can call to hear Klopp ‘turning doubters into believers’ or ‘his infectious laugh’. 

Fans were quick to respond to the hilarious viral clip, enjoying the light-hearted refrain from Liverpools’ sad news.

One user posted: ‘Hahaha amazing! Raise required for that. Well played!’

‘The best bit is “He got married and has got two children but the best thing in his life was always Jurgen Klopp”‘ another penned. 

Another one who has used the hotline joined in: ‘Actually can’t believe the number is real’.

‘I hope its freephone, I’ve called 64,789 times, so far…’ a final user posted. 

Liverpool fans have been devastated by the news, with one fan appearing to break down in tears while phoning in to talkSPORT on Friday. 

Tributes have been flooding in for the manager from the Reds’ fanbase, with one saying to Mail Sport: ‘He needs a statue and a stand. What can I say about him? Such an amazing guy and character and one we’ve all fallen in love with.

‘He’s been a fantastic manager for us but as a person we have seen the true Jurgen Klopp.’

Klopp announced that he will be standing down as Liverpool boss at the end of the 2023-24 season.

In a bombshell interview on Friday morning that has rocked the sport, the 56-year-old German boss claimed he is ‘running out of energy’ after winning the Premier League, Champions League, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup across nine years at Anfield. He also hinted that he may never manage in football ever again.

‘I will leave the club at the end of the season,’ he said. ‘I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it.

‘It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. 

‘I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.’
