Remove ads

The 2023–24 season was Liverpool Football Club's 132nd season in existence and their 62nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football. In addition to the Premier League, they participated in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League, having failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League in the previous season.

Quick facts season, Chairman ...

Virgil van Dijk was appointed the new club captain after the departure of Jordan Henderson. The Dutchman also became Liverpool's second non-British or Irish captain after Sami Hyypiä, who was appointed in the 2001–02 season. Trent Alexander-Arnold also replaced James Milner as vice-captain. The season saw a rebuild in midfield as the club signed Alexis Mac Allister,[1] Dominik Szoboszlai,[2] Wataru Endo[3] and, on transfer deadline day, Ryan Gravenberch.[4]

This season was the first since 2010–11 without Jordan Henderson, the first since 2014–15 without James Milner and Roberto Firmino, the first since 2016–17 without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and the first since 2017–18 without Naby Keïta and Fabinho.

This was also Liverpool's final season under Jürgen Klopp, who announced his departure at the season's end on 26 January 2024.[5] On 25 February 2024, Liverpool beat Chelsea 1–0 in the EFL Cup final, with Virgil van Dijk scoring the winner in the 118th minute to win the club's tenth League Cup and second under Klopp.[6] It proved to be Liverpool's final trophy under Klopp; despite being in contention to win four trophies, a bad run of form in the league saw them ruled out of the title race, and they were knocked out of both the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League in the quarter-finals by the eventual winners of their respective competitions, Manchester United and Atalanta.
