Pulse Sports Team 16:08 - 08 June 2026

Former Liverpool football manager Jürgen Klopp is set to receive an honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) from King Charles III. The award acknowledges his services to football and the community in Liverpool.

The British government announced the award back in February, but the news was part of a larger list of honorees and didn't garner significant attention. Klopp's management agency, Sportfive, confirmed the report on Monday.

According to DPA, it remains unclear whether the 58-year-old German, who led Liverpool to both Premier League and Champions League titles during his tenure, has already received the medal associated with the honor.
