After years of good and loyal service, Jürgen Klopp has decided to leave the Liverpool FC bench at the end of the 2023-2024 season. In a video published on the Reds’ X account (formerly Twitter), the German coach gave the reasons for his departure. “It’s because I’m, how can I put it, short of energy. I know I can’t do the job over and over and over and over again,” he said, among other things.
The 56-year-old technician would have informed the owners of “LFC” of his desire to leave as early as November 2023. “When we were sitting together and talking about potential recruitments, the next summer internship and the possibility to go anywhere, the idea came to me that I was no longer sure of being here, which surprised even me,” he explained. In just under ten years, the man who arrived on Merseyside in 2015 has become a Liverpool legend, winning a Champions League (2019), a long-awaited English championship title (2020) as well as an FA Cup, a League Cup and a Community Shield (2022). It will certainly be difficult to succeed him.
