A mural honoring Jurgen Klopp has been unveiled in Liverpool, but not all fans are happy.
The Reds boss announced in January that he would leave the club at the end of the season after nine successful years in charge.
Klopp is seen grinning in the latest artwork, celebrating his legacy.

With each passing day, his time in charge is dwindling.
However, Klopp’s presence will endure beyond his departure, as a new mural of him has been revealed.
It is located on Slater Street and features a glass of German beer Erdinger, along with the brewery’s logo.
Yet, many fans on social media were unimpressed. One user on X wrote: “It’s frustrating that these are just ads now.”
“Whatever real mural culture existed is being completely taken over by brands,” they added.
Another commented, “Yeah. Honestly, this is rubbish.”
“Not a fan, just looks like a big advert,” said a fourth, referring to the mural painted by local artist John Culshaw.
Klopp, who previously had a mural near Anfield, has been an Erdinger ambassador since 2019, even appearing in a commercial where he shouted: “Never skim an Erdinger!”
Klopp has collaborated with Erdinger for nearly four years.
After Liverpool’s 2020 Premier League triumph, the brewery released limited-edition cans featuring Klopp’s image and signature.
Darragh MacAnthony, Peterborough United’s owner, believes Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna should succeed Klopp at Liverpool.
Erdinger might plan a similar tribute as Klopp chases a historic treble in his final weeks.
Liverpool has already secured the Carabao Cup and currently leads Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League.
The Reds are also in the Europa League quarter-finals, raising hopes of a dream farewell season under Klopp.
