He's leaving.

This Friday began with unexpected news in England. Through a video shared on social media, Jurgen Klopp announced that he has made the decision to leave Liverpool after the end of the current season 2023/24. This came as a blow to fans, who were confident that the German manager would remain on the bench for several more years leading the team.

"I can understand that it's a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it, or at least try to explain it," he began. And then he continued: "I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take".

And finally he gave the main reason for his surprising decision: "It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy... I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again and again". He also explained that he realized some time ago that he was not ready to start a new season with the Reds and told the club's chiefs as soon as possible: "I told the club already in November.... A season starts and you plan pretty much the next season already. When we sat there together talking about potential signings, the next summer camp and can we go wherever, the thought came up, 'I am not sure I am here then anymore' and I was surprised myself by that. I obviously start thinking about it".

Thus Klopp decided to end a successful 9-year stint in his professional career. He arrived at Liverpool in 2015 and quickly managed to turn the team into one of the best in England. In fact, in his first season he took them to the final of the UEFA Europa League. Then came a title and two Champions League finals, plus an unforgettable Premier League success, the first in the club's history.
