European giant's coach who fears for his future now that Klopp is available

No one saw Jurgen Klopp's announcement coming on Friday. He recorded a video in which he made known his decision to leave Liverpool after the end of the current 2023/24 season. The explanation he gave was that he's running out of energy and that he is not ready to plan a new year with the English side. After 9 seasons there, he believes it is best to leave while things are still going well.

This came as a shock to fans around the world and instantly newspapers, TV shows and social media started flooding with rumors about possible replacements for the German coach. Former Reds stars such as Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard were mentioned, as well as other successful Premier League managers such as Unai Emery, Roberto De Zerbi and Graham Potter.

But speculation also began about the future of Klopp himself. He has long been considered one of the best coaches in the world, but no other club had dared to contact him knowing that he was under contract with Liverpool. Now that will change and no doubt the top teams in Europe will consider him as a tempting alternative.

Among them are Barcelona. When he was a candidate for president, Joan Laporta mentioned him on several occasions as one of his favorite coaches. However, the fact that he had a job in England ruled him out as an option and that is why Xavi Hernandez was chosen. However, now the Spanish coach is in trouble and he himself assured that if he does not win a title this season he will leave. The problem is that he only has La Liga and the Champions League left, very difficult objectives to achieve.

For now it does not seem likely

While it is a real possibility that Barcelona will have to look for a coach at the end of the season, they are unlikely to succeed in finding Jurgen Klopp. In announcing his decision to leave Liverpool he explained that he has no energy to continue and it would be surprising to see him start a new phase immediately at another club. According to reports, he is likely to take a year off.
