Coach Jurgen Klopp said he would leave Liverpool due to running out of energy
Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has decided to leave the club at the end of the season. His statement is posted on the team’s website.
“The fact is that I’m running out of strength. Now I have no problems. I have known for a long time that I would have to announce this at some point,” explained the 56-year-old coach, emphasizing that he likes everything about the club. The German noted that he informed the team about his decision in November 2023.
Klopp added that he is still working with the club, so farewell events have been postponed until May. “We’ll have a moment, maybe the last game day here [в Англии] or somewhere else – I mean in other countries or in other competitions. There is enough time for such things,” he shared.
Liverpool thanked Klopp for his work
Mike Gordon, president of the club’s owner Fenway Sports Group, expressed his gratitude to Klopp for his long-term partnership.
Of course, we will be very sad to lose not just a manager of this level, but a person and leader for whom we have great respect, gratitude and affection

The football world reacted to Klopp’s decision

Nine years is a long time. The Premier League combined with performances on the European stage is a very intense story. Especially when you’ve been playing at this level for nine years.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel named Klopp’s decision is big news that he needs to digest.
In his opinion, Klopp is one of the best coaches in the world and he has always managed to influence the clubs he has worked for.
