Jürgen Klopp announced on Friday that he would step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season.
It’s a real thunderbolt for Liverpool. While he was under contract until June 2026, Jürgen Klopp announced in a press release on Friday that he would end his mission two years earlier. The German tactician has thus formalized his departure next June, at the end of the current season. Mentally tired, the former Borussia Dortmund coach needs to rest.
“ I can understand that it’s a shock to a lot of people right now, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it (…) » It is with these terms that Jürgen Klopp began his press release, before continuing: “ I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I like everything. But the fact that I still make this decision shows you that I am convinced that it is the one I must make. »
“I’m running out of energy”
Then, the one who notably won a Champions League with the Reds came to the real reason for his decision: “ It’s because I’m, how can I put it, running out of energy. Everything is fine, of course, but I already knew for a while that I should announce it (…). I know I can’t do the work over and over and over and over again. » In nine years at Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp has won practically everything. A Premier League title (2020), this famous C1 in 2019, an English Cup (2022) and a League Cup (2022). And many other titles.
