Jürgen Klopp was in attendance at the MEWA Arena on Sunday as the 05ers took on Werder Bremen on Matchday 3.

The 57-year-old Bundesliga legend was in attendance for Mainz’s fixture against Bremen at the MEWA Arena, as Bo Henriksen’s side suffered an untimely 2-1 defeat to fall just shy of breaking a club record run of games without loss. 

Klopp, man who made his name as one of Europe’s great coaches at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, first started out as a record-breaking player for Mainz, and then led the 05ers into the Bundesliga for the first time as a coach. The highly-decorated tactician played for the club between 1990 and 2001, and then took over as first-team coach in 2001, before leaving for Dortmund in the summer of 2008.

Since his departure from Liverpool in the summer after almost a decade at the club, Klopp has been enjoying his time off and visited another of his former sides, Dortmund, earlier in the week. He took charge of Team Błaszczykowski as part of the testimonial for Dortmund’s legendary former players Łukasz Piszczek and Jakub Błaszczykowski.

In total, Klopp spent 18 years at Mainz as both a player and a coach and he looked understandably disappointed by the team's first loss of the season on Sunday. It was the first reverse coach Bo Henriksen had overseen at home and meant that the Carnival Club fell just shy of setting what would have been a new Mainz best of 12 games without loss.
