After his final game in charge of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp led the chants for new manager Arne Slot.
Klopp ended his nine-year reign on a high as the Reds recorded a 2-0 win over Wolves at Anfield after first-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah.
After the whistle, Klopp entered the field to address the home crowd and during that speech he started singing the name of his Dutch successor.
With a big grin on his face, Klopp sang: ‘Arne Slot! La, la, la la! Arne Slot! La, la, la, la!’
Earlier this week, Slot confirmed he will replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield after the Reds agreed a compensation package with his Rotterdam employers that could amount to £9.42 million.

Feyenoord released a sleek video in his honor and had him pose on the pitch with the accolades he brought them.
Slot won the Eredivisie title last season, the KNVB Cup this year, and also led them to the 2022 Europa Conference League final, where they lost to Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
Feyenoord fans gave Slot a lavish farewell with a giant banner dedicated to him ahead of their dominant 4-0 win over Excelsior on Sunday.
Goals from Gernot Trauner, Ondrej Lingr, David Hancko and Lutsharel Geertruida gave Slot a final match to remember, as Excelsior was relegated from the Eredivisie after the defeat.
Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold couldn’t hold back the tears after hugging Klopp after his final game at Liverpool.
Van Dijk admitted last month that he was ‘afraid’ of Klopp’s departure, which the 56-year-old manager announced in January.

After hugging all his players, Klopp addressed the Anfield crowd and encouraged them to get behind new boss Slot.
Klopp then performed his trademark fist bumps in front of the Kop as he received the adulation of the fans.
As his players looked on, Alexander-Arnold was also seen crying, having played all his professional club football under Klopp.
Klopp opted to hand Alexander-Arnold his debut as a teenager in 2017, and the full-back has never looked back, becoming one of the best right-backs in world football.
