Thomas Tuchel: 'Jurgen Klopp's return to Borussia Dortmund will be special'

Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel says that Jurgen Klopp's return to the German club as Liverpool manager will be "very special".

Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has claimed that Jurgen Klopp's return to Westfalenstadion as Liverpool manager on Thursday night will be a "very special occasion".

Klopp, who spent seven years in charge of Dortmund before leaving at the end of last season, will go up against his former club when his Liverpool side visit the German outfit for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals tomorrow.

While Tuchel believes that it will be an emotional event, the 42-year-old is certain that Klopp will be determined to come away with a win once kickoff is underway.

"I'm 100% sure that nobody forgets this time," Tuchel told reporters. "It's a very special game of course and Jurgen will get a warm welcome but from the moment the whistle blows, he wants to win."

Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager in October last year.
