Renowned former Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp was recently seen soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of Cape Town, South Africa, leaving fans thrilled at the unexpected encounter.
Now serving as the head of Global Football at Red Bull, Klopp's visit is not merely for leisure but is entwined with a noble cause too.
In a video posted on Facebook by an enthusiastic Liverpool supporter, Klopp was seen signing merchandise for supporters at a shopping mall in the city.
Netizens couldn't contain their excitement.
Sdumo Makiti commented: "And he didn't go to the USA, What a shame to Trump and Musk. We are Mzansi, no DNA. Just RSA."
Bra Giggs joked: "I think Kaizer Chiefs found their next manager."
Mandisi Hlatshwayo commented: "This is the best place to be no Hollywood just ubuntu."
Meanwhile, Klopp is in the country to attend a fundraising event for the Hout Bay United Football Community (HBUFC), an initiative he has passionately supported since 2017.
According to online reports: "Klopp’s involvement with HBUFC has helped bring global attention to the cause. His heart for grassroots football and belief in its potential to change lives made him the perfect figure to help fuel HBUFC’s journey."
The fundraiser, which will take place at The Bay Habour Market on March 6, will feature engaging locker room conversations with local football figure Sizwe Mbebe.
Soccer enthusiasts who attend will also be treated to an exclusive live Q&A session with the much-loved coach, allowing fans to connect with him on a personal level.
The evening will be hosted by Miss South Africa finalist, Saskia Falken and include live music by Just Jinjer frontman, Ard Matthews.
Actor and comedian Rob van Vuuren will host a live auction of special edition items, with all proceeds going to HBUFC’s ongoing work in the community.
Tickets are R2000 and are available on Quicket. Doors will open at 5pm with a bar and food stalls available before the program starts.
