Jürgen Klopp will leave at the end of the season as team manager of Liverpool FC. “I’m running out of energy. I’ve known for a long time that sooner or later I would have to announce it. I know I can’t do the job again and again,” the 56-year-old said. in a videowhich the traditional English club published on Friday.
Klopp extended his contract early until 2026 in April 2022. The former Borussia Dortmund manager arrived at Liverpool FC in October 2015. With the club he won, among others, the Champions League in 2019 and the championship English in 2020.
Klopp, who has repeatedly been linked to the role of national team coach, returns to his initial idea. “My plan is that I will stay until 2024 and then it will be: thank you very much!” he often said – and then extended it until 2026. Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League table, are in the final of the League Cup, in the round of 16 of the Europa League and in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
He could understand that “it’s a shock to a lot of people right now when you hear it for the first time,” Klopp said in the video, addressing fans directly. “All these years respect and love have grown. The least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth.”
