Jürgen Klopp (56) will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the season. The German star coach, who has looked after the team at Anfield Road since October 2015, announced this on Friday (January 26th).
Klopp has won the Premier League and Champions League with the team and is currently at the top of the table with Liverpool. Klopp explained his decision to resign in an emotional interview published by the club. “I can understand that it’s a shock for many people at this moment when they hear it for the first time, but of course I can explain it – or at least try to explain it,” said the 56-year-old.
He “loves absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our fans, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But the fact that I’m making this decision anyway shows that I do “I’m convinced that it’s the decision I have to make.”
Klopp went on to explain that he was “running out of energy”. He had known for a long time “that I would have to announce it at some point, but I’m completely fine now.” Klopp continues: “After the years we had together, after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together,” the respect and love has grown and is the least , what he owes the people is the truth – “and that is the truth”. Klopp informed the club’s owners of his departure in November.
