Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp (56) still intends to take a one-year break after his tenure at Anfield ends at the end of the season.
The legendary coach of the Reds, whose name circulates every time a rumor arises in recent days, despite the expressed wish to take time to rest at the end of his adventure with Liverpool, which will end this summer, has felt the need to clarify his current situation, subject to a lot of noise in recent days.
“Jürgen Klopp will not coach any club or national team for one year at the end of the current season. Its position remains unchanged,” assured his agent to Sky Sports. This makes one less candidate for the succession of Thomas Tuchel on the Bayern bench.
“No energy to continue”
As a reminder, Klopp recently said he didn’t have the energy to continue, while he recently announced he would leave office in May. “The relief was there when I made a decision for myself,” Klopp said at a special press conference. “ Today, feelings are mixed. But I’m not as emotional as I will be when this is all over.”
Excellence requires almost unlimited energy, even for the best managers, and Klopp is statistically the best performer the club has ever had in terms of winning percentage. “ With all the responsibilities you have in this job, you have to be on top of your game”, Klopp said. “ I am, but I’ve been doing this job for 24 years. I realized that my resources are not unlimited and I prefer to go all out this season, then take a break or stop, it doesn’t matter.
