Borussia Dortmund drew Livepool today in the Europa League quarter-final draw for the first time in the competitions current format.
Liverpool boss is of course no stranger to Borussia Dortmund having managed the Bundesliga side through one of the clubs golden ages.
Ilkay Gundogan was one of several players that made a name for themselves under the stewardship of Klopp and he seemed pretty keen to welcome his former coach back to Germany.
Gundogan shared a tweet writing ‘He comes back!’ followed by a cheeky wink emoji.

Dortmund are in great form under new head coach Thomas Tuchel and are second in the Bundesliga still within reach of leaders Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga giants also knocked Tottenham out of the Europa League in the last round beating Spurs 5-1 on aggregate.
Gundogan missed both legs of the Tottenham match up due to a foot injury but he is expected to recover in time for the quarter-finals.
Turkish international Nuri Sahin did not featured against Spurs yesterday either but is expected to be fit for the clash against Liverpool.
